I am usually not one to pass along rumours, but while I was in LA, several folks were again making observations I had heard while I was with some financial analysts in Wall Street a couple of weeks back. Everyone keeps saying that problems have cropped up in the Sun acquisition by Oracle. If true, and if for some reason the acquisition does not take place, the recent layoffs by Sun would likely leave the company non-viable when the dust settles.
If you are a Sun shop today, that might mean something to you.
It reminds me of an old political saw told around the time of John Quincy Adams. He was notorious for not committing on any issue, so some pundit decided to try to get a firm position from him on the issue of whether the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. Adams responded, “Since I am rarely up early enough in the morning to see the sun rise, I have no position to offer in the matter.”
