>Articles
Information is critical to make good decisions, especially in
computing areas like finance, fraud detection, business intelligence, and
operations. In "Esper: Event Stream Processing and
Correlation," Thomas Bernhardt and Alexandre Vasseur show
how event-driven architectures turn a traditional data-driven
application's architecture upside-down. Instead of storing the data and
running queries against stored data, Esper allows applications to store
queries and run through the data. This article introduces Esper, a
lightweight event processing kernel written in Java. Check it out here:

Those of you living in the Windows and Vista worlds may find that your
hard disk fills up fast with junk, gunk, and extraneous files. In this
excerpt from "Windows Vista: The Definitive Guide," William R. Stanek shows you how
to clean it up fast. Take the time to read it and keep your
installation clean. You can find it here:

>Blogs
Our #1 blog (based on traffic and comments) is Matthew Russell's
discussion on "Three Years of Using a Mac (Was the AppleCare Worth It?)."
The author writes "Wow! It's been exactly three years since I purchased my
PowerBook. This metal beauty is my first Mac ever, and has forever changed
my life for the better. OS X, Cocoa, Mac DevCenter, the Apple Store, and the
overall Mac community have been nothing less than incredible. What a great investment!"
