Miguel de Icaza on Oracle suing Google over Java patent infringement in Android/Dalvik: "By the time Oracle bought Sun, they knew that they would be going after Google and anyone else with a big, fat checkbook that did not have a licensing deal in place."
Stefano Mazzocchi's "Dalvik: how Google routed around Sun’s IP-based licensing restrictions on Java ME" provides a good technical background of Google's approach with Dalvik.

Vinay Deolalikar. P is not equal to NP. 6th August, 2010. "Manuscript sent on 6th August to several leading researchers in various areas. Confirmations began arriving 8th August early morning. The preliminary version made it to the web without my knowledge. Please note that the final version of the paper is under preparation, and is to be posted here shortly (in about a week). Stay tuned."
See also Richard Lipton's initial remarks as well as Scott Aaronson betting his house against the proof. And of course the discussion on Hacker News, Reddit/Math, Reddit/Programming, Slashdot.
Independently of whether this proof holds up or not, this is serious work spanning a wide arc across graphical models, descriptive complexity, and statistical mechanics; as such it is most likely very interesting in and of itself.
Update 2010-08-10: Lipton and Ken Regan collect possible issues with Delolikar's proof in a follow-up post.

"Blosc is a high performance compressor optimized for binary data. It has been designed to transmit data to the processor cache faster than the traditional, non-compressed, direct memory fetch approach via a memcpy() OS call." ~

"So why doesn't everyone want wimpy-core systems? Because in many corners of the real world, they're prohibited by law -- Amdahl's law."
