Sun layoffs

So everyone has heard about Sun folks layoff in US. Seemingly, since even higher ups are going , including "acting" directors, no one knows for sure (at least I don't). Hopefully Aug 24th is the last day of layoffs, we are practically a fraction of... read more

Negativity

The stock is at all time high - how do you guys (the ones who complain a lot) explain this? Given how badly LE messed up (in your view), how come that the company has a 200 Billion dollars market cap... One of the largest companies in the world... read more

Why so quiet $C?

Even hapless IBM CEO GR had something to say about recent events, in effect t criticizing POTUS, not so our $C, just not her thing to speak up like a leader and concerned citizen. Too busy counting her $$$.
