If all went well, Udi has just given a talk at O’Reilly’s Where 2.0 conference up in San Francisco. In this talk he will have mentioned the new A9 Maps Beta. Check out the screen shot below for a preview, and click for a larger version:

Simply amazing! I can’t believe I got this transcript before Al Jazeera did.
I bring to you an excerpt from a speech given no more than two hours ago by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, self-proclaimed leader of the resistance to the American occupation in Iraq.
From al-Zarqawi:

For the past two months I’ve been trying to figure out the best license to use for the new project. I knew that I wanted the code to be open source but I wasn’t sure specifically which open source license to choose. I’ve been reading and studying open source licenses for years and [...]
Essex 0.3 has been tagged and released. Essex is a service-oriented toolkit for application development in Perl. It is not a comprehensive framework like Mason or Rails.

Whoo. Unto.net is back in the Google index. It’s funny — you can’t miss the difference in the logs. 3 out of the last 10 referrers were all via Google. Whereas even though unto.net ranks high on Yahoo, MSN, and Ask, barely one out of 50 hits come from any of [...]
