Fair warning: This is speculation on my part
Fact 1: The Intel desktop chipset Z68 will be released in a week or two to the general public.
Fact 2: Apple cares about user experience
Fact 3: Intel has given Apple preferred access to its components before
The iMac, Apple's Desktop offering, is long overdue. I had my bets for a refresh in February, that never happened. In March it would be logical to release an update with Sandy Bridge and Thunderbolt. That in itself would he a huge gain.
The Intel Z68 chipset will allow Apple to let the user have a small SSD drive for caching, so that all frequently run program data will be there. That's not that different from what Samsung (and I'm sure others) already do on regular hard drives: keep a small bit of SSD for caching so that data that is frequently accessed ...
One thing that I seem to forget from project to project (after all, you only need to take care of this once pr project) is that a deployed Spring project is two parts: model, business and controllers is one part, views are another.
This means that in your web.xml you're likely to have two parts defined, the org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener servlet which contains model, business and controllers, and the org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet that contains your view resolvers and views.
This distinction is important, if nothing else than because it's easy to set the url-pattern for the view servlet too broad, for instance to /*, and this will surely mingle your requests so that you don't really know if it goes to the controller or to the view resolver.
These days I'm heavily looking into the NoSQL space, and I've currently limited my learning to the document space of CouchDB, MongoDB, key/value space of AWS SimpleDB and Cassandra, and the Neo4J graph space. For the projects I'm involved in I'm most excited about Couch & Mongo, even though I'd love to host it in the AWS space and therefore should be looking at SimpleDB.
If you're exploring this space as well, I'd love to hear from you and your thoughts. Many more posts are bound to come 
Today was the time for my yearly developer certificate renewal. After invalidating my old certificate and making a new one, removing all old profiles, I got the error above. It took me a little while to figure it out, but while I had generated my Ad Hoc distribution profile, I hadn't actually installed it, so I had my certificate set up for distribution but no mobile provision profile. Just my little d'oh moment, I hope it helps you figure out yours
When the iPad was announced, we got to hear we had to wait until the international launch date. So before it was even morning on the date of the international launch I ordered mine online, black 64Gb with 3G. I expected Apple to prioritize their own sales channel, but it turned out I had to wait 33 days from I ordered it until Apple expected me to have it!
To reduce the wait, I went by many stores, and finally I came by a Virgin Megastore in Nice, and the salesman there said unfortunately, they only had one model, and it was exactly the one I wanted, so I quickly bought it, set it to update and sync and went about my day.
Later that evening I got to play with it, but the home button really needed to be pushed very hard to work, and that really affected the pleasure of using it. After much thought, I decided to return it. The ...
