I never understood dependency injection, or why avoiding nested new is so important to coupling and composibility until I watched this [Google Tech Talk](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlfLCWKxHJ0) video. It is the clearest explanation that I have seen and avoids any discussion of DI Frameworks or IOC containers, since...

That's exactly what I suggest. The reason is that manual code to implement this is a tiny amount of the total application code, and some configurable framework will not significantly shorten the code length. It may well increase it. To take [Wiki's example of an XML-configed framework](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dep...

DI, like anything (Hibernate) is best used judiciously. I've seen Spring XML configurations that would make you cry. That obviously moves one problem into another (managing *.xmls). A nice evolution is using annotations or attributes (in C#). That way code and DI is all on one spot. This makes refactoring easier sinc...

While it has a lot of social networking aspects, I think the real power is an embeddable option that can aggregate moods from news sites, blog posts, movie reviews, etc. While the "front-end" is smiley faces, the data on the back-end can lead to some pretty social analysis.

Larval stage did enter the jargon file after ESR's curation started (was surprised when checking my first edition confirmed that), but that does not invalidate the phenomenon, so cool it with the ad hominem. I personally went through larval stage at 17 - in 1973, which is my excuse for being late.

This is true, I was perhaps overstating. My point is that the tools are not the solution (they never are), tools are just that: tools.
