Sun Microsystems: Burnout or Takeover Target?

RE: "If they continue to piss around with money wasters like Project DarkStar (gaming server) and Project Looking Glass (3D interface) they'll miss a huge opportunity to get some focus, deliver some value and make some profit."

Not to mention, having many execs, and an increasing number of rank and file, being encouraged to play around in Second Life on company time. Time to execute, focus on the real cash cow lines of business, and eating the lunches of Dell, HP, IBM, et al. Market timing, price, effective PR, support. Simple things. Stop screwing around in Second Life, forget about curing world hunger and selling one time deals (later pirated) to Communist dictatorships and get cracking. Read "Good To Great." It's all about excelling at boring stuff, the way Fed Ex did.
