Sun Has Betrayed Us All
Talkback When you say "[Sun] has caved in to Kodak. Instead of fighting the patent claims that Kodak raised over Java, Sun has settled out of court" you conveniently forgot to mention the prolonged court battle Sun has been in with Kodak over this very matter.

Sun Has Its Head In The Clouds
Leader Sun has a laudable vision of the future of utility computing, where organisations with extra processing power can sell it back to a computing grid in the same manner that homes with solar panels can sell power back to the electrical power grid.

Leader Instead of fighting the patent claims that Kodak raised over Java, Sun has settled out of court. In short, Sun has given Kodak millions of dollars to go away and the companies will have agreed not to sue each other in future over mutual use of...

Sun Has Betrayed Us All
Talkback Sun? No, Kodak has f-ed us all. Put the blame where it belongs: On bogus patents, on a bogus system. Given the rules of the game, a company must play or die. It's the game itself that's broken, not the player.

Sun Has Betrayed Us All
Talkback Hardly - Sun has over $9bn in the bank. KODAK has betrayed us all, not Sun. Struggling to survive? I'll never buy Kodak again, and i encourage everyone else to do the same - and email Kodak to tell them this!

Sun Has Betrayed Us All

Sun Has Betrayed Us All
Talkback Like every other public company, Sun has a fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders and a duty to conduct business in the best interests of them and our customers. In that light, Sun has chosen to settle a pending legal matter rather than...

Sun Has Betrayed Us All
Talkback Unfortunately, Sun's actions are indicative of the industry as a whole, and is not a single perpatrator in this matter. I suppose those who bash Sun will say Kodak was correct to accept the settlment, just as those who blast Kodak will tell us Sun...

Sun Has Betrayed Us All
Talkback Let the Americans prat about to their hearts content. I can't give a fig about US patents. After all, 94.6% of the world are not American (US) citizens. Take bitTorrent, for example. Where does your particular fragment come from at any one time?

Sun Has Betrayed Us All
Talkback Yet another competitive advantage for the rest of the world. We will surely work hard to keep your lawyers out of our courts. We will not allow our IT industry to be ruined by phoney patents. Oh. And I just came up with something that I will patent...

Sun Has Its Head In The Clouds
Talkback Sun is focusing, in derelection of its duty to user and shareholder alike, on sizzle rather than maintaining focus on the mundane main courses that serve the needs of most of us. Your article fails to identify the most serious shortcoming of the...

Talkback I salute Sun! The fastest way to make software more secret is to abolish patents! Patents are published for all to see, without them companies would use secrecy to protect themselves. Patents also protect small companies from the big and ruthless.

Sun Has Betrayed Us All
Talkback Sun is a company that is struggling to survive thanks to its own short sighted and monopolistic practices. I used to like Sun a lot, but their hardware is overpriced and slow. We have a Willamette core P4 that is faster than a £10K Sun workstation!

Talkback You thought off-shoring was a problem: America has just blown off the other foot and hobbled its whole IT industry by giving the playground bully a pat on the back, and exrtra "pocket money". This could be the catalyst that kicks the EU into touch...
