I'm not looking forward to tomorrow, especially if the market trends down. On the front page of the WSJ, one right after the other, both the Ebay story and an item with the following wonderful lead: A small company funded by Microsoft Corp. has cloned key elements of Java programming technology, another headache for Sun Microsystems Inc. as it tries to maintain control over a software movement that seems to be struggling. It's meaningless, of course. But the article goes on to quote an analyst who claims Java declined year-over-year in popularity and is "a distant fourth" in language popularity. Naturally. That's the reason why JavaOne will attract over 15,000 developers and is the largest such show in the world. Kinda interesting that the Journal picks the week of JavaOne to run this nothing story on the front page as if it were somehow important. Coincidences do happen, don't they? Regards, --QwikSand
