DOM Tooltip in Apache MyFaces

July 27, 2005

The DOM Tooltip library has been selected as the tooltip widget for a new Apache MyFaces component named Schedule. This component is described in the javadoc as " A schedule component similar to the ones found in Outlook or Evolution."

I am extremely thrilled about this pairing.

It's pretty ironic that the box contained a camera. Worse for FedEx.

Google has had in beta for some time now an SMS interface. To put it in laymen's terms, you can Google using text messaging!

Update: Google just added an SMS demo site, so you can practice without having to waste any text messages.
