It was mentioned here that Sun (JAVA) is being bought out by IBM. First off, I hope that doesn't happen because I have a fondness of Stanford University Networks. Second, Sun has been interesting if nothing else for the past few years. Flounder, flounder, flounder. Third, if IBM buys Sun it'll be to take what it wants then flush the rest, adding more to the IBM ueber company.
It's looking like the rumors were just rumors. I hope so. I like using Sun servers and I hate the font IBM uses for its online documentation.
