I read your comments on Mr. Schwartz’s blog. I am in 1st grade. I have had lots of media attention lately (have been on every Charlotte, NC news station) and have had articles written about me. There is a large newspaper picking up our story and it will be out before the weekend. We are really excited about that. Anyway, the reason I am writing you is to ask you to look at my website called, www.boys4hire.info. I am helping a little boy that is 10 years old and deaf. He was just “dropped off� when he was 2 years old because his family didn’t want him anymore. He was found wondering around a deaf institute. Anyway, I have had donations from Candace Cameron (remember her from Full House?), Karen Kingsbury (NYT Best Selling Author), Whitney Houston’s rep – her name is Nicole David, and even a congresswoman. We have had donations from around the world – which is why the media is picking up my story. Can you look at my site and help out a little? We have what is called $1 donations! Just $1 through paypal could help this child. He is very close to my heart – because he is going to be my new cousin. Please read my site at www.boys4hire.info and maybe you would even want to do a blog about us? I am in the magazine called "Future CEO Stars.� If you read my blog (at the top of the home page), you can see my interviews and get to know me. I am a great kid! Thank you!

I can’t argue the $1Bill figure since I don’t know what’s the possible stream of revenue for this synergy structure but it sure feels right. Sun now gains a sales opportunity in a huge number of IT shops, this is priceless. I’m puzzled about the Oracle/Weblogic Future. As a long time user of both I do remember Oracle brining on several different JEE containers/application Servers under the Oracle Brand: OAS, JRun, Orion, OC4J. I suspect this move does not increase the confidence of Oracle users in their vendor but the bottom line from licensing earnings sure looks better for Oracle's investors. Although I don’t see Sun rushing to purchase SpringSource I must admit I’m asking myself whether an acquisition of SpringSource may be a possible move for someone. I can only say that as a Spring user I value Spring’s independence from the JEE spec very much and I would not like to see it exclusively tying it’s future with any JEE vendor. Yuval Goldstein.

IBM and it's WebSphere is clear example. Few days ago people directly from IBM were asking me if it is possible to create ant build script for their project. They knew that we were developing cooperating project (and bigger then their) on SunAS 8 (ejb 2.1 => xdoclet) with much less pain. Actually they make development on JBoss and importing application with WebSphere Studio. Absolute madness, but because WebSphere has such horrible (and xdoclet nongenerable) deploy descriptors, there is not another way except moving whole development to WebSphere Studio. So moral is, that company big enough can easily deny any developers, even itself developers, and result is biggest market share of it's application server. Title is not true.
