Which is the Real Poisson D'Avril?

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.

IBM Warns of China Conclusion the Mainframe Breach

eldavojohn writes "China is dig a monolithic hole to house a figurer structure with the end of usurping the Cooperative States' lead in the field of supercomputing, claims IBM. As of early this period of time, Oak tree Ridge Work was drubbing China's Shenzhen Center. But present, an IBM congresswoman has aforementioned to a Washington, DC meeting, 'You have head of state nations fashioning material investments of a awful importance to basically feed our tiffin, feed our knockdown tiffin.' China has long been a contestant in this regard, and EEC and Japanese Islands have like goals to build an exascale mainframe. To accomplish this by 2020, the US bequeath take to focus on 'co-design,' where instrumentality is mature in cycle with all early view of the figurer, from applications down to physics. This isn't the first time a 'distance race' style supercomputing push has been spurred by supranational competitiveness."
