Rumors today are that something is happening between IBM and SUN Microsystems. Is IBM buying SUN? That would make a lot of sense since they have a lot of commonalities, SUN is in a bad spot, SUN has a lot of great technology, and the stock was low.

SUN's problem, for years, has been how to take advantage of all the neat technologies and bright people they have. Java has been a huge factor and success, but it's not clear how much it really helped them succeed as a company.

All our robotics and web work is based on technologies that are neither Sun nor IBM, but that's a bit of a shame.
