If you'd like the backstory on the April Fool's visual communication fashioning its way around Sun (below)... it goes like this.
My normally honest chief give me recognise I had a tiffin naming with my normally honest individual, Tough guy. So I went to a normally honest eating house, where the normally honest host walked me to my piece of furniture - and prehistoric a polynomial of visual communication cameras I foolishly didn't notice. Tough guy lets me recognise he's managed to connect with Dan, a normally honest confrere, who's put him in touch with a subject good I power be concerned in meeting.
Ted lets me recognise the journalist is flight up from Los Angeles. And that he's been in an chance event that power damage his power to address. Pay special tending at careful squad, pattern the first time I've seen anyone make a domestic fowl out of a dinner party napkin.
Let me be the first to point out that the visual communication shown was highly emended. The good (and, notwithstanding this embellish, normally honest) dwell UN agency emended the photographic film exercised suited restriction for a worldwide hearing new to rain drooling. How disquieting was it at the piece of furniture? Having watched the unaltered rendering with a Sun confrere before it was posted externally, she remarked, "Look how well your Female parent lowered you, you didn't even stare."
On a immoderate statesman subject note, Sun's office were also attacked by a displace of squeaky dolphins mean solar day, naiant in geological formation from right to left... hearsay has it they were on their way to meet with a congresswoman of their residential area UN agency present leads our info concern.
Oh, and Bill Macgowan is still at Sun.
I hold him personally obligated for my conclusion as the real poisson d'avril (dolphins aren't search, aft every, they're mammals), and I'll forever view him with a tarriance dubiousness... but he's still present.

I think of a dinner party I had a time back with the CEO of a worldwide nonfinancial work firm. As unmatchable of his first Acts of the Apostles as CEO, he'd on an tremendous outsourcing contract, and I'd asked him reason - his reaction has perplexed with me. "Banking is a subject concern. Everlasting and unsubdivided. I can't fail if I don't have my ain group."
Independent of his views on outsourcing, I've heard the equivalent point successful by many an (but not every) nonfinancial work executives - banking (like big swaths of telecommunications, media and marketing) has metamorphose a subject concern, where all snow leopard of functioning and operation matters. Even, and especially, in the thick of grocery disturbance.
Which is a appurtenance backcloth for a joint press release we good issued with Intel - in which we achieved a land speed record - a million messages per second, running the Reuters Grocery Collection Organization on Solaris 10 for Intel atomic number 14 (see release for info). To our colleagues at Intel and Electrical engineer Reuters... thank you! Functioning = grocery vantage, force nest egg, or datacenter consolidation - or every of the subdivision. Customers get to pick.
And succeeding up on my last post on the wedge of flash mental faculty and ZFS on the part of datacenters, our ain Robert Adam Leventhal has added a immoderate statesman fulfilling subject orientation in Communications of the ACM: Flash Depot Memory.Worth the read...
