Tim Bray has written an insightful piece describing his perscription for a healthier Sun, at the end he suggested others might want to do the same, so here is my version. Product Strategy Sun’s problem is not that they don’t have good products, it is they have too many products for them to sustain. As Tim mentioned [...]

Tim Bray : real deep design skill is rare, but there are a few principles of design and color that, if you follow them, will keep you mostly out of trouble and produce something that may not seduce the viewer’s eye but on the other hand won’t revolt it One Firefox 3.1 comes out with SVG mask/clip-path/filter effects in HTML , I plan to experiment with texture . It seems to me that being able...

Tim Bray has some interesting things to say in Answer the Phone Call , a commentary on where to find opportunities in the tough times ahead. Whilst I broadly agree with his analysis - more phones are sold every minute than there are people born, and there's far more innovation in mobile than on desktop at the minute - I disagree with one of his points: This year, with the advent of the iPhone...

... 120 days, and only 1.5 million had any postings in the last seven days. Now, as longtime blogger Tim Bray notes, 7.4 million and 1.5 million are still sizable numbers, but they’re a whole lot lower than we’ve been led to believe. “I find those numbers shockingly low,” writes Bray; “clearly, blogging isn’t as widespread as we thought.” Call it the Long Curtail: For the lion’s share...

... has been under particular pressure to realign; analysts and even Sun employees such as Tim Bray have been outspoken in their pleas for Sun’s executive team to jettison unprofitable ventures in favor of some kind of cloud strategy. CEO Jonathan Schwartz has hinted in recent months of some wood behind what Sun calls its Grid effort, and will this week roll out Sun’s JavaFX 1.0 front end technology...

FYI: I'm tracking blogs and other reactions to Tim Bray's What Sun should do blog post on delicious.com at the link below. Judging from the reaction so far, I think Tim should have opened up comments on this one. He would have gotten more, and possibly better feedback. http://delicious.com/snoopdave/sunshould

Tim Bray on JCP In 2008, the JCP is costing Sun opportunities and friends and gaining us very little that I can see. So I’d like Sun to set the JCP free, turn it over to the community, and when we develop some cool Java-based technology in-house, take it to market, try to make some money [...]

Patrick Logan throws some cold water on Tim Bray's web triumphalism: In the history of the web, it's still the Stone Age. We have not even discovered metal yet. We're just beginning to maybe glimpse what the Bronze Age might be like.

Fascinating article by Tim Bray, what should Sun do +1 to the back-off-from-the-client story. It's over. JVMs of all kind are commoditised. Unfortunately, Sun still have to spend lots of money keeping the windows JVM alive and staying up with MS on features, even though MS have the windows franchise to fund them. As the only people who use Java client apps are us developers, why not force everyone...

Tim Bray: What Sun should do : Sun is going through a lousy spell right now. Well, so is the world’s economy in general and the IT business in particular, but this is about Sun. This is my opinion about what my employer should do about it. It takes a lot of guts to write a piece like that and I'm really glad Tim did it. I'm going to walk out on the same limb and agree with pretty much everything...
