—a Mac perspective on the Web seen through the Opera desktop browser

Java on the Mac

Seem like Opera made the right choice when moving to a standard plug-in API for Java. As Apple won’t be bundling a Java runtime environment on their 10.7 Lion operating system. Opera’s adoption of a plug-in based approach will make whatever plug-in—made by a third-party—to replace Java just work.

I hope Oracle wouldn’t wait too long with picks up the ball, or many Web bank users will find them self unable to do their banking.

Speaking of changing state of plug-ins on the Mac (with Apple stopping to bundle both Flash and Java), how did you respond to my call to disable plug-ins in your browser already now?

The Java update 3 for 10.6 also broke part of OpenOffice.org (I can open writer right now, tho presenter still works)

Also the Sun Microsystems logo was not updated to the Oracle one in the update
