Bye Sun

Appears that Sun.com has disappeared from the cyberspace.

Sun.com now redirects to Oracle.com.
On other pages, e.g. java.sun.com, the Sun logo has been substituted by the Oracle logo.

:’(

#2

Not all gone SUN

#3

That must have been prepared some time in advance eh?

Well, there we go. I, for one, welcome our new overlords etc etc

Perhaps these forums need a new color theme, something red.

#5

I’ll miss the Sun site, it was much nicer then the Oracle one.

But it will be really nice if they redo the Sun forums. They are rediculously too slow.

teehee, I love laughing @ the rubbish marketing types ‘invent’.

A certain similarity to this ;D

#7

preorder jdk7 now for only 99.99$ on oracle online store or for only 149.99$ from our partner sites.

#8

But we’re still here ;D

How does it feel to be a Oracle employee? :slight_smile:

#11

They have changed the Sun forums now too. The new design is making my eyes bleed.

#12

I agree, their CSS color swap is hard to look at.

Oh, and please no, don’t go with a red theme. I know I’m not too active around here, but here’s one little vote to keep the blue theme. It’s much more calming.

I don’t like the Oracle site too much, it’s a little to “noisy.”

#13

Here’s the e-mail they sent to everyone saying that Sun has now been swallowed: http://www.oracle.com/us/sun/044427.html

maybe htis is good news?

#15

They want to make Sun customers happy, then DON’T TOUCH SUN!
We do not need nor want you messing around with Java and the other stuff.

If we wanted Oracle stuff, we would have taken Oracle stuff.

#16

Look at:
http://www.oracle.com/index.html

for middleware: Java takes the first place in the listing
for databases: MySQL takes the last place in the listing

#17

Good. MySQL is crap.

Now, I wonder if we’re going to see some clientside progress with Java finally. Or - shock - a JVM on a console or iPhone.

Cas :slight_smile:

#18

Oracle says it’s going to develop/support/deploy JavaFX aggresively. But… why? I hope they don’t lose focus on clientside JavaFX.

#19

Well, they’d better not, as JavaFX depends on Java…

#20

Maybe we all need to grow beards to match the existing Oracle developer base…
