The Eclipse Project has pulled the plug on the Runtime Analysis Tools (a.k.a. CodePro Profiler, a.k.a. tools.rat) due to lack of activity.
Google bought Instantiations, the original devloper, back in 2010 and provided Window Builder Pro and CodePro AnalytiX free of charge. CodePro Profiler was handed over to Eclipse, commercial support was to be provided by OnPositive.
Version 1.0 of the Go programming language has just been released. Read more about it at the developers blog, or download it it from here.

This is really good primer on text manipulation on Linux and UNIX: IBM developerWorks: Introduction to text manipulation on UNIX-based systems
Brad Yoes from IBM did a wonderful job in this article. I am pretty sure that you will find new insights even if you haven been working with Linux and/or UNIX for quite some time.
SELinux is coming to Android. Called SEAndroid, the project looks pretty interesting:
Some distinctive features of our SE Android reference implementation in comparison to prior efforts of which we are aware include:
- Per-file security labeling support for yaffs2,
- Filesystem images (yaffs2 and ext4) labeled at build time,
- Kernel permission checks controlling Binder IPC,
- Labeling of service sockets and socket files created by init,
- Labeling of device nodes created by ueventd,
- Flexible, configurable labeling of apps and app data directories,
- Userspace permission checks controlling use of the Zygote socket commands,
- Minimal port of SELinux userspace,
- SELinux support for the Android toolbox,
- Small TE policy written from scratch for Android,
- Confined domains for system services and apps,
- Use of MLS categories to isolate apps.
I just noticed this while getting the latest version of Boost from sf.net:
Or as Scott Hanselman put it: “It’s over and 7zip won”.
