Quotable Quotes
Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances. –Thomas Jefferson
Patience with others is love. Patience with self is hope. Patience with God is faith. –Adel Bestavros
Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. –Margaret Young
Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing. –William James

Oracle Finalizes Sun Acquisition
- 28 Jan 10
Well, it's final -- I got the e-mail from Charles Phillips and Safra Catz this morning. Oracle has finally satisfied the regulators and now is the proud new owner of Sun Microsystems. What can we expect from Enterprise Software going forward? Well, according to the e-mail:
Performance levels will be unmatched. Oracle’s software already runs faster on Sun SPARC/Solaris than on any other server or operating system. With Sun as a part of Oracle, each layer of the stack will be engineered to further improve performance, reliability and manageability so that IT will be more predictable, more supportable, and more secure. Customers will benefit as their system performance goes up and their system integration and management costs go down.
In addition, our open standards-based technology will give customers choice. Customers can purchase our fully integrated systems, or easily integrate our best-of-breed technologies with their existing environments. Our open technology also enables customers to take full advantage of third party innovations. Oracle also plans to extend its partner specialization program to include Sun technologies to better enable partners to deliver differentiated and value-added solutions to customers.
Congrats guys. Feel free to cut out a couple of hours early. You've earned it.
