Oracle can see the future of the Sun (and Java)!

just had my coffee and saw this news wsj , washingtonost not much detail is released. Knowing how Oracle and its famous CEO Larry Ellison work, not much will be release until all dust are settled. Of course two weeks ago there was the IBM's plan to buy Sun.

Appearly, the Board of Directors of Sun Microsystems has unanimously approved the transaction.

MySql now the new Oracle Lite?

Update: found this blog by Larry Dignan @ zdnet has pretty nice summery on things.

Ain't you kinda young for robbing bank? guess not.

Remember the boy is "accused" not formally charged.

A 13 year old boy was taken into custody Monday after allegedly robbing a Peoria bank (IL), with handgun

The robbery occurred about 11:34 a.m. at the bank's 2119 SW Adams St. location, and by 12:10 the suspect was in custody. The Peoria teen was apprehended in a garage behind a house at 927 S. Louisa St. in South Peoria.

According to Burgess, police eventually located the suspect hiding in the garage near the alley off Louisa. The suspect, who police haven't identified because he is a juvenile, was hiding behind a couch in the garage at 927 Louisa. His sweatshirt was covered with reddish-colored dye.

Recession has now reach young teens, using handgun at a bank is just asking for trouble. I wonder if the branch had a guard on duty? Because the boy is a minor we'll probably never see the video footage.

eclipse of the Sun (this time it could be eclipse forever)?

UPDATE 4/21/09 Oracle can see the future of the Sun

There has been many articles (forbes, computerworld, wsj) about this possible takeover.

Java developer blogsphere and newsgroup have gone wild about the possible outcome.. what ifs..
There are many offering that are overlap between the IBM and SUN.

Sun's profilo includes, but not limit to the following:
  • Java
  • OpenSolaris
  • MySQL
  • GlassFish
  • VirtualBox
  • JavaFX (very very new....)
  • OpenOffice/StarOffice
  • NetBeans
  • SunStudio...
some of the things I can see that maybe duplicate, but if merged the two will become a stronger product.

AIX v. Solaris
Power vs Sparc
Web$phere vs Glassfish
Eclipse vs Netbeans
DB2 vs MySQL (well... DB2 is MySQL may not be at the same level of offering)

I enjoy using Netbeans on my own time, but at work I had to u$e$ RAD7 (aka eclipse + $$$). I would hate to see another free IDE goes ... and left with one RCP (Rich client platform). I'm sure the community will keep the Netbeans RCP alive, but without a major support it's hard to see its true potential.

Update 4/6: Business blog nytimes "Sign of Times" has interesting takes on what "maybe" going on. Rejected the offer!!
