OSNews, Generic OSes Even though it was a relatively easy-going week when it comes to the news, we still had some interesting items worth revisiting. A company called Vmedia is trying to push a video version of MiniDisc, Apple did an epic Java fail, Google released Chrome 2.0, and more.

And also intel and the FSF revealed the UI of Moblin 2.0.

That was the most exiting news for me this week.

(It's the Linux Foundation (with Intel) that does Moblin, not the FSF)

Now,I'm not a Java fan (or anything related) but how does it fail Java as a whole? Title implies that.But that's just me.

Yeah, the title does sort of imply that. I think it could have been worded differently, such as "OS X Java fail," or "A Java fail." That way, it doesn't sound like Java itself is a failure, since it obviously isn't. Or perhaps "Apple Java fail," seeing as how it is Apple's fault?
