Java Generics and Collections: Evolution, Not Revolution, Part 2
In the second part of an excerpt from Java Generics and Collections,
authors Maurice Naftalin and Philip Wadler continue their study of how to
adopt Java 5.0 generics in a measured, sustainable fashion. Having shown
how to genericize a library while leaving the library in legacy mode, they
now present three approaches to the opposite scenario: genericizing a
client that uses a non-genericized library.

Finding Your Voice
We have three pieces this week that hover around the theme of finding your
voice. Google CEO Eric Schmidt talks to John Battelle about the corporate
voice that Google has taken on. Moshe Cohen is a clown who performs using
his voice but no words. In many of his missions, including Clowns Without
Borders USA, he cheers people up but also leaves them with a deeper
lesson. I've also remixed a piece by David Battino from the Digital Media
Insider that looks at how much computer voices have improved. This is the
last episode for 2006. (DTF 11-27-2006: 25 minutes, 55 seconds)
