When Did the Sun Set?

When Did the Sun Set?

By Dave Michels on December 21, 2011

The story of Sun Microsystems is a great one. It has great characters (McNealy), great battles (open vs. proprietary, David vs. Goliath), incredible vision (the dawn of the dot.com), drama (the bust of the dot.com), and tragedy (the Oracle acquisition). Oh yeah, one of the best of tech logos. Well, the drama continues. Oracle reports […]

Internal Email on Why a Software Company Migrates Away from MySQL

Exploring the in-between

By Guest Authors on January 28, 2010

Yesterday provided an interesting cross-section of the spectrum of technology. On one side, you had Apple’s launch of the iPad. On the other side, you had Oracle’s press conference detailing the setting of Sun.
