  • Stepping back into the daylight...

  • Note to SEC: Please require a Lawyer-to-Engineer ratio on publicly traded company disclosures

    I was reading Steve Eichert's blog entry titled “Way to go Sun” where sun is aggressively taking down websites that are supporting the java community. It seems that some companies hit a phase where they have more lawyers than engineers and they aggressively try to protect old revenue streams...
