[THIN] Re: Oracle buys Sun

now that would be cool but can't apple just turn the iPhone in to the wii?   
they don't need Nintendo, do they?   heck, with the 3.0 release of the iPhone 
will come new rights for ISVs which allows them to create more detailed plug-in 
for the iPhone.   For example, someone will be able to create a blood pressure 
reader and have it plug directory in to the bottom of the iPhone.    OR, they 
could create a steering wheel, joy sticks, all sorts of stuff as now you have 
the ability to plug in to the device, where currently we can't do that.   
Imagine a box, like the old Atari where you just slap the iPhone in the box 
uses it but also has its own added processing and graphics power.  Other than 
the games I don't see why they would want Nintendo.  Maybe customer base but 
come on, Apple has EVERY one, except for the Gates and Ballmer families, as 
customers in some way.   

 

I think the iPhone 3.0 will really change a lot.  It will be flipping cool to 
see the devices people make for it.  I can think of a slew.  The box is open 
with 3.0 OS and the SDK... (almost, I want background processes but then that 
would destroy battery life and I would love to see Apple open the app store but 
then they have to bend over for ATT&T, which I find funny.  ATT&T should do 
what Apple wants vs. the other.

I still want to see Apple buy nintendo. The wii joins the appletv, iPhone and 
ds combine. Nintendo game downloads on iTunes.

        I agree with you Steve.  Oracle is one of the biggest funders and 
participants in the Xen open source project, and many others...   I have a good 
friend that works there now, in the Oracle VM group, and he is constantly 
telling me how much they love open-source... 

         

        I think this is a very interesting buy.  However, I wish Microsoft 
would have bought them and just shut them down.  I wish Gates would have spent 
his money (billions) on just buying up all the competition...  lol...  A 
billion here, 5 billion there...  I'm a PC.   LOL!

        You can kiss MySQL goodbye too.  IBM might try to take over OpenOffice 
if possible.
