IBM throws open source an AJAX bone
IBM will have a tool out by the end of the year that will assist business analysts and non-programmers with writing a bit of simple AJAX code to make their websites pop a bit or be a little more interactive. The tool will be available in November as a trial version. They want the tool lower the barrier of entry for using AJAX in your web app, especially if you are not currently a programmer. The tool has so far been dubbed QED, or Quick and Easily Done. From that name, it sounds like someone from the secret Microsoft "department of naming" was hired by IBM to come up with it. The tool will focus on debugging JavaScript errors, since there has never been a great and easy tool to help less-savvy JavaScript with this problem.

QED is also an acronym for the Latin phrase quod erat demonstrandum, which means "which was to be demonstrated". Maybe they are trying to show us something.
