Came across an interesting blog post by Mark Figley on PHP and Java - Best of Both Worlds? I see an awful lot of sense to this relationship and I am excited about the potential of scripting languages running inside the JVM. IBMs Project Zero and QEDWiki application are strong indicators that Big Blue are taking PHP seriously. Systems like the Zend Framework are even more reasons to consider PHP for rapid development. So with pure Java implementations of PHP like Quercus we can only expect PHP to shine even brighter. Best of both worlds? Damn close..

Recently while trying to get Java Web Start working on my MacBook Pro under Firefox, I came across a strange issue with Firefox and its management of mime types and file associations.
