32: Monday Morning Java

14 January 2013

Mike’s got Java on his mind this week, and takes issue with the recent coverage it’s been receiving, and and offers some perspective. Google allows developers to reply to bad reviews, is this the start of a major rage train? And the really good news for Qt, new challenges for monetization, and the depressing sales numbers in the Ubuntu Software Center. Plus: Lots of great feedback, and much more!
