Oracle pays $7.4 billion in cash for Sun Microsystems -- really?

Apr 20th 2009 12:39PM on BloggingStocks

I see Oracle defining its entry in 2 key software trends through the Sun acquisition: OpenSource and Cloud Computing / SaaS: http://www.sramanamitra.com/2009/04/20/oracle-acquires-sun-opensource-first-saas-next/

Java, yes; hardware, may be; but what this really positions Oracle for is vastly enhancing its Cloud Computing story, including apps. I expect a set of SaaS acquisitions soon.

Jeff Katz told me about it when I interviewed him in the Fall, but I promised not to write about Tag. Well, now the announcement is out.

If you want to know what led up to the Tag, read my interview with Jeff.

Option update: Volatility up as AKAM trades near 16-month low into 3Q EPS

Oct 3rd 2007 2:20PM on BloggingStocks

Akamai is a very undervalued company:
http://sramanamitra.com/2007/10/02/online-video-beneficiaries-akamai/

It's the leader in a segment where the market is growing like crazy. Online video is showering the network infrastructure players who have their acts together with its blessings.

Akamai certainly has its act together.

She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
