By Java News Desk (April 20, 2009) - According to Web visionary and SOA expert Miko Matsumara, there was only one certain result of there being two board factions at Sun Microsystems, one in favor of the IBM deal (the Jonathan Schwartz faction) and the other opposing (the Scott McNealy faction): "Mark my words, Schwartz is toast, IBM deal or no deal," declared Mastumara recently in his 'SOA Thoughts' blog. Now that Oracle has bought Sun instead, will the same apply?

Among other remarks, Schwartz adds: "Let me assure you [Oracle is] single minded in [its] focus on the one asset that doesn't appear in our financial statements: our people."

Oracle-Sun: Early Round-Up of What the Blogosphere is <http://mailman.sys-con.com/t/1093053/22602972/2519/0/%20> Saying A brief selection of what's being written around the Web about the deal By Java News Desk (April 20, 2009) - "Casualties? Java and MySQL for sure, and perhaps Sun's hardware business," says CyberTech Rambler; "Oracle can utilize Sun's Solaris and Java platforms....However the future of MySQL has not been mentioned and may not be so rosy," notes Steve Kennedy. The blogosphere is abuzz with news and views in the wake of Oracle's intended acquisition of Sun for $7.4BN announced this morning.

Data.gov will become a repository for all the information the government collects, and that information will be in turn available to anyone who needs it. Pretty positive move, if you ask me. However, the existing data-as-a-service providers that traffic in government data could find that they are soon suffering from relevancy problems. The Five Pillars of Cloud Computing <http://mailman.sys-con.com/t/1093053/22602972/2366/0/%20> Cloud computing requires a dynamic computing infrastructure - there are four other pillars, too By Dave Malcolm (April 20, 2009) - Cloud computing is getting tons of press these days. Everyone has a different perspective and understanding of the technology, and there are myriad variations on the definition of the cloud- William Fellows and John Barr at the 451 Group define cloud computing as the intersection of grid, virtualization, SaaS, and utility computing models. <http://mailman.sys-con.com/t/1093053/22602972/2307/0/> <http://mailman.sys-con.com/t/1093053/22602972/1439/0/> <http://www3.sys-con.com/newsletters/images/black-pixel.gif> www.SYS-CON.com/JDJ List Privacy Notice Java Developer's Journal Does Not Disclose Your Personal Information ** to outside parties Under Any Circumstances.
