IBM Sun: Java Cools
April 5, 2009
Short honk: The New Zealand Herald reported on Monday, April 6, 2009, that “IBM Pulls $11.8 Billion Sun Bid.” You can read the story here. If true, will a Japanese firm step forward and snap up the customers and patents held by a company that coined the catchphrase “the network is the computer”? The question in my mind is, “Whither Java, a lanaguage of some utility for certain search and content processing companies?”
