Yahoo was quite the chooser last spring when Microsoft offered to buy it — the Yahoo board held out for a higher price. Now it’s looking more and more like the beggar. Its relationship with Google is pretty much finished before it even had a chance to begin, and it appears Yahoo is reaching the end of its rope. Used to be that Google was all hard-headed about going through with an ad revenue sharing partnership with Yahoo, regardless of what the Department of Justice had to say about it.

Behind Yahoo’s push to open up Web search and advertising is software powerful enough to sort through the entire Library of Congress in less than half a minute. The software, called “Hadoop,” is part of Yahoo’s massive computing grid and is transforming the way that Yahoo and corporate giants like IBM extract meaning from enormous streams of data. Universities are also using the code — an open source version of software Google relies on for daily operation — to train a new generation of computer scientists and engineers.

Web developers have many options for the servlet containers they use to host Java apps. Included in these choices are both classic proprietary and a host of open source containers. For the typical Java application developer, the container that holds one or more Java applications together is fairly transparent. From a non-techy’s perspective, servlet containers are largely redundant. The feature sets often overlap, so it seems to make little difference whether Java developers build on Apache Tomcat, Jetty, JBoss or WebObjects.

Online learning is evolving into much more than discussions via Blackboard. Today’s online learners are spending time engaged in discussions, meeting in virtual classrooms, and combining online and on-the-ground learning, even if they live time zones away from campus. In response, universities are adjusting their curriculum, learning expectations, and changing how instructors approach topics online. One major challenge, creating and maintaining learning communities in virtual space, is testing both existing and emerging online tools.
