Jonathan schwartz rocks!!!!If there's anyone who will get sun roaring back to the top, it this genius.And nothing gives me greater pleasure than to see Sun spanking technologically inferior,zero innovation companies like HP. So much for "HP Invent". They'll now have to invent new ways of explaining their declining revenues. Hail Sun!!
Here're some articles that're indeed heartening to read..
1)Sun's successful "HP away" program
2)Sparc sets the pace
And here's schwartz himself with his brilliant write up on HP's screwed up startegies and even more screwed up operating system.It's a must read.HP can continue with it's "Solaris to linux migration kit" and see where it takes it. It might also help them if they rewrite parts of that kit to help people migrate from HP-UX. They might make up some revenues that way atleast.
Meanwhile, Sun posts profits for the first time in several quarters and is well on it's way to regaining it's position as the market leader, rightly so.
And then there was light, with the sun shining bright...

This article's real fun to read. For all you java/jini novices, here goes...

Pollution in Bangalore?The day autos get eliminated from b'lore, we'll be able to live much more easily. The smoke & noise they give out is horrifying. I wonder what would happen a few years hence if we go on this way.
I'm also tired of seeing people use bangalore like toilet paper. Every outsider who comes here uses the facilities,lives here, eats here, drinks here, enjoys the beautiful climate, the sights and the sounds, makes money here, and still curses my city and praises the hell-hole from where he/she's originated. I wouldn't have felt bad if those parasites actually felt for my city and made a genuine contribution to the society. Talking about contributions, how many people born & brought up in bangalore feel for the city and do something for it?
Worth sparing a thought for...
