SHDH 25...

OMFG, Sun has turned SHDH into a Chuck E. Cheese for blowhard wannabe programmers.... this is Slashdot in real life.

Yours truly, 2008-05-17

Brilliant on Sun's part, it really is, but the event has been ruined for those who don't give two shits about free food, Wii games, or other knickknacks/musings at Sun's EBC. If I had the opportunity to talk with Jonathan Schwartz, I imagine it'd go something along the lines of, "what's it like to manage the expectations of a company that's competing in a shrinking market place and attempting to sell commodity goods?" It may be gruesome in the marketplace for Sun, but watching engineers play Wii in their EBC will certainly solve whatever fundamental problems Sun has, I'm sure of it. Kinda. Ok, kinda not. Brilliant marketing/advertising, however. Life moves on, status quo. Sun's still on a path of self destruction. Roasted dolphin, anyone?
