TOP THREE LINKS YOU MUST CLICK ON Java Industry News Oracle Buys BEA, Sun Buys MySQL: What's the Future for Developers?
$1BN doesn't sound like that much considering Oracle is currently worth $113BN

For BEA, I was hoping they would succeed at combining the power of JRockit with AquaLogic to build scalable workflow (ala BPM) services. Instead, we users and developers will be waiting for years to see WebLogic and AquaLogic integrated into the Oracle Fusion Middleware stack. For MySQL, I was hoping for an IPO. My company, PushToTest, is an open-source software publisher and I was looking to MySQL to show me the way to go really big. $1 Billion just does not sound like that much considering Oracle is currently worth $113 Billion. Actually a lot of us in the OSS space were looking for the MySQL IPO as a proof-point that OSS investments are a good thing generally. To the good people at BEA and MySQL I send a heart felt congratulations. As a user and developer I wonder what the future holds?

Adobe and ARM are gonna put Flash Player 10 and AIR, the stuff of web video and rich Internet apps, on ARM widgets by the second half of next year. They mean phones, set-tops, MIDs, TVs, car mojo and personal media devices, which have so far only had access to Flash Lite, not the...
Mark Papermaster, the ex-VP of blade development at IBM and the guy that IBM stopped from going to Apple to run its iPod and IPhone development on the strength of the non-compete he signed, has sued his former master looking for a declaratory judgment in his favor.
Well it appears that non-compete agreements may carry a bit more weight in New York than they do in California – at least to a judge right down the block from IBM headquarters. Steve Jobs’ pick to run Apple’s iPod and iPhone development has been told by a New York federal c...
Yesterday, VMware announced that they were buying Trango. Trango makes virtualization solutions for the mobile phone or other embedded devices. Now why would VMware do this? Well, if you were at VMworld then you heard all about VMware View. Basically it's the thought that once yo...
