Not since the proposed Java 2000 have I had a good whole hearted laugh at Java. My colleagues couldn't believe it either. When I was at Sun there were some interesting economic ideas about reducing costs and improving the stock price, many were based on financial statistics and few that I can remember had any impact. Maybe some new starbucks investors may accidently select the wrong stock?

So what is next, APPL to change to IPOD, MSFT to OFFICE, ORCL to DB. Does JAVA have to be quoted as JAVA(TM) on the ticker to keep trademark status? What happens if the coffee commodity industry hits a bad patch, would JAVA be affected?

Thanks Sun for some news that made me smile! I'll still be using Java for years to come.

Java Out of Action

I'm heading over to the Java In Action conference this week. It looks to be a great conference and there several sessions I'm looking forward to. I've written something especially for this conference. Java Out of Action, when good programs go bad. All the tips and techniques I learnt while at Sun, I'm doing this all on my laptop so I'm hoping my laptop survives the demo!
