This is Dave Edstrom's personal blog called Photons and Electrons. This blog is about technology, as well as some of my personal interests. I am the CEO/CTO of Virtual Photons Electrons. I was the CTO for MEMEX for three years, the President and Chairman of the Board for the MTConnect Institute from May 2010 to January 2014 and prior to that I spent 23 years at Sun Microsystems.

Death of Solaris and SPARC
It has been widely reported this past week that Oracle has effectively killed both Solaris and SPARC by RIF'ing almost all of both teams.
I have lots of great memories on both Solaris and SPARC, that I will share in a future post. My reaction on different forums has been, "it was a self-fulfilling prophesy by Oracle and I am surprised it took them this long."
Another couple of examples of great Sun Microsystems technology that will simply be entries in Wikipedia....
