The company is turning to the 12-processor Sun Fire v1280 server to help fight off HP and IBM. The server will cost less than $350,000 and may be rolled out next week. JUDGE STAYS JAVA ORDER | CNET There've been two big developments in the Microsoft/Sun scrap. Most importantly, the judge in the case has given Microsoft a stay, so the company does not have to start shipping Windows with Sun Java until an appeal goes through the system. Right before that, MS proclaimed that it had wrapped up a revised Windows XP Service Pack 1 (called SP1a) that does not include Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine.

A new computerized product is taking the human brain out of the mix when it comes to driving. It could make getting behind the wheel a real no-brainer, which is good because a lot of drivers seem to be short on gray matter.
