  • Java EE 7 Spec gets unanimous approval
  • Nothing will impact Java developers more than the formal release of IE9
    • IE8 and Safari own pwn’d in the pwntoown, Firefox and Chrome did not, even with Chrome’s 20k bounty.
    • Chrome didn’t fall, but Google patched the Pwn2Own Webkit bug in chrome. The bug was in WebKit and was
      used to exploit the Blackberry RIM Torch phone. Since it was in WebKit, Google patched it for Chrome.

    was that TestNG fully supports and runs JUnit 3.x tests for backwards compatibility.
