SandHill.com | The Impact of Oracle-Sun
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
"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 ;)

All MySQL's children | The Open Road - The Business and Politics of Open Source by Matt Asay - CNET News
"This may well be true, but it could prove a bit of a set-back (if short-term) to MySQL, or rather to Sun, and arguably makes the company's job harder to monetize MySQL" - i disagree. in spite of their shared heritage, Drizzle and MySQL are fundamentally different projects. aside from the fact that Drizzle is not now and won't be for some time production ready, they are aimed at very different markets and opportunities.
