Day Three at JavaOne brought more application ideas, and a video interview with Joe.

Here were the three coolest apps of the day:

• An equestrian was planning on monitoring the muscle temperature and stride of race horses galloping around a track, which can be used to determine the optimal time to race.
• Dishwashers in restaurants need to be calibrated so that they sterilize effectively; a customer was going to use the pervasive computers to determine when the washer is running at the proper temperature to ensure the dishes are completely clean before serving food on them.
• Underwater archaeologists were going to use the computer to tag the location and condition of submerged artifacts and communicate with the surface in real-time.

In addition, our co-founder and CTO Joe Polastre was interviewed by Chris Melissinos, Sun's Chief Gaming Officer, talking about the Duke's Choice award. The video was replayed on giant screens as people waited to get into the exhibit hall -- next stop Charlie Rose?
