SandHill.com | The Impact of Oracle-Sun
may 2009 by sogrady
couple of folks sent this to me, and it is indeed a nice writeup of the Sun/ORCL deal and its implications. i don't agree with all of it - among other issues, i think it's not realistic to imagine that we'll see Oracle trot out a MySQL replacement - but it's broad and well thought out.

Persistence Is The Browsers' Most Persistent Problem - David Berlind's Tech Radar - InformationWeek
november 2008 by sogrady
"I can completely relate to what Stephen is asking for. It's far simpler than the problems a persistence technology like Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Gears is trying to tackle. But ultimately, thanks in part to Gears and similar technologies from Adobe (NSDQ: ADBE), Apache, Oracle, and Sun, we know more is possible. So, why accept less?" - because it's likely to arrive far more quickly ;)
