Bye bye Java

With Java suffering from an exploitable security flaw, it is time to uninstall Java.

Could this be the death of Java as a consumer technology? Java will live on as a server technology, for running some phone software, and as that annoying thing that makes Blu-ray disks take ages to load, but it could be dead on the desktop.

It must be years since I last needed to use Java on a Mac or a PC.

I suppose this also adds a nail to the coffin of web browser plugins. Using mobile devices and tablets show us that web browsers are quite useable without the security and performance hit of having plugins.

it's dead as a desktop technology though Android'a own version will keep it going for years Blu-ray juck but understandable
