Sun has announced the field replacement of some Sun Ray 1 appliances because of a failure in their power supply wiring. Usually when there's a failure, the thin client device will appear to have lost power, but in some cases it may smoke. Sun says this isn't because of a fire, but because a faulty capacitor is venting.

The companies' efforts should make for more functionality and greater access for desktop, back-end, and mobile platforms. HP will use IPv6 in its HP-UX11i server to support more users, something Sun has already done with Solaris 8.

This version aims to improve error reporting and recommendations on how to handle error messaging in terms of version conflicts. SOAP ultimately aims to help developers build better applications and full support of the XML schema. Sun is backing the SOAP push.

Does it giggle incessantly? It could have been infected with the Marijuana virus. I-Worm.Mari comes as an e-mail with the subject line "check this out." When the computer "inhales," a Trojan Horse program sets the Internet Explorer browser start page to marijuana.com and pastes a pot leaf in the Windows system tray (no word yet if the virus affects the PC's short term memory or desire to work). The folks at marijuana.com are fuming - they say they have nothing to do with the wired weed, which could lead to harder viruses.
