Carlos E. Perez sigue con su polémica lista. Como siempre, las razones aquí y aquí.
There are alot of people who are in uproar with this list. Well I can’t blame them, however let me make a few disclaimers first. The list is a work in progress, and as I’ve stated when I began posting it, the goal was to solicit comments and gather feedback with the ulimate goal to reach 101 reasons. Now, people have pointed out some flaws in some entries, and yes it’ll be corrected in due time.
People who hate the list have also argued that some reasons are invalid because over time .NET will catch up. All I can say to this line of argument is that this is a list about «Today, the Here and Now». We can always revisit the list a year from now, and just maybe, there may be less reasons why Java is better.

En relación al punto 50, el autor comenta un dispositivo que se puede programar en Java: el JStamp, que parece técnicamente muy interesante. Pero buscando por la misma web, uno se encuentra con el JStik, que por tener, tiene también conexión ethernet. Se me ocurren varios usos para ese cacharrito. Me pregunto cuánto costará que me lo envién hasta España.
