I just read some news about Qualcomm launching an internet of things development platform on top of JME and I was wondering where is jme/j2me used nowadays. I know it was used for some old mobile phones and apparently you can still use for developing application for Bada and Symbian.
But besides that is there any other field where is it used? Can someone exemplify other areas where Jme is used or point to an updated list of embedded devices implementing a jvm compliant with jme?
The newest related inquire I saw around the topic was this forum discussion which did not bring that much light to the question.
I think it has spread, with feature phones, into places where smartphones are still pretty expensive. As an anecdote, my scripting language for phones, Hecl, does not get a lot of traction these days, by and large, but does seem to get a lot of attention in places like Indonesia.

I've been watching the development of Node.js and frameworks like Express for a while. I finally found some time to play around and am enjoying it.
Does anyone know why Node's current version is only 0.10.0? I know it doesn't really matter but it makes it seem like an extremely new and unstable project when in fact it seems that it's being used quite a bit and even by some big players.
Well, it is new, it's only been around since 2009.
That may seem old to you whippersnappers but I primarily program in a language from the '70s and sometimes on machines that have been around since the '60s.
But seriously, it probably has more to do with the numbering scheme than any actual immaturity. As you can see here, there have actually been quite a few releases.
If you wait a little while, the release plan calls for a 0.12 (code cleanup mostly) to be followed by 1.0 which, based on comments, will be the "final" product (though there will still be more versions since predictions aren't perfect). Many projects start with a (crappy) 1.0 and improve that. The philosophy for node.js seems to have been to approach 1.0 as the fully-polished end product.

I love the flexibility of d3.js, but in some cases its low level api is hard to use. What are some higher level charting libraries based on d3.js? I know on rickshaw so far.
Like you I have been very impressed by D3, but found it tricky.
The best D3 charting library I've seen is NVD3.js. I've been testing it out, but not yet used it in anger.
Currently I'm working on the theory that to get the best out of D3 you need a strong understanding of JavaScript, so I'm brushing up on my JavaScript Patterns, which I'm finding very helpful.

I recently watched the "Introduction to Node.js with Ryan Dahl" video on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo_B4LTHi3I), and I really like the look of Node.js. Unfortunately, in that video, Ryan described Node.js as "very much a bleeding-edge technology" (in so many words), and that means it won't suit my purpose in looking at servers/server-side Javascript in the first place - to find a stable, well-supported, open-source technology to use for our server-side purposes.
I'm pretty sure that Node.js's "bleeding-edge" status hasn't change - at least not much - since March, but can anyone confirm this for me? How risky would it be to include Node.js in our design for a large (1000s of nodes), enterprise-wide system?
Thanks!

In general I would say "yes", but that has not stopped some cutting edge companies from using it production. I don't know of any that are scaling (clustering) to the level you're talking about.
I would say if you're asking here, then it probably isn't for you right now.

The Go language is a new programming language from Google. It is still in an experimental phase and I am having trouble figuring out how stable it is. What sort of projects would you risk using Go for?
As you said, it is still an experimental programming language so I would only use it for experimental projects, for now. The implementation is still young but more importantly the ecosystem around it is also not very mature. In other words you'll probably have a hard time finding frameworks and libraries to help speed up your development and may end up needing to code a lot more than if you had chosen a more mature language.

Urgently want to know best UML designing tool in Linux?
Which Also Support ERD
Is it Possible to use in NetBEANs IDE 6.9.1
Almost all UML tools are Linux compliant.
Try Papurus with Eclipse or BOUML which are free and open source. RSA is pretty good as well as Omondo but not free.
I use and prefer Umbrello.
ArgoUML is also quite good but its GUI bugs will drive you mad...
I never had any problems with dia. It's part of gnome, almost all distributions package it. Also has a Windows version but I didn't use that one for a long time. Of course, "best" is relative to what you are expecting from it.
