Sun Microsystems Inc. has taken a step toward producing the first of its next generation of "throughput computing" processors. The company has completed the initial design of its first such processor, code named Niagara, and has now begun the process of producing the first prototypes of the chip, a Sun spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday.

Battle: 802.11n 07/06/2004 11:56 AM
The high throughput camps have formed to win the heart and soul of 802.11n, Wi-Fi's next speed bump: The EE Times explains that one camp led by Atheros proposes using 40 megahertz (MHz) of bandwidth (up from 22 MHz in the 802.11b/g specs); Intel is part of this proposal. They call their approach TG nSynch--the boy band pun must be intended. On the other side is multiple-in/multiple-out antenna system maker Airgo which plans to build around 20 MHz of bandwidth; Broadcom and Texas Instruments most significantly stand on their side. Their name: World Wide Spectrum Efficiency (WWiSE)....

Sun's no-op announcement

Sun's no-op announcement 02/01/2005 08:49 PM
Last year IBM took a significant step forward in cooperation with the free software community, by offering blanket licenses for 500 of its patents to all free software developers. This does not cover all of IBM's software patents, which must number in the thousands. And there are other areas where IBM does not yet cooperate with the free software community--they have not provided the necessary information to port a free BIOS to ThinkPads, for instance, and they are still pursuing Treacherous Computing. Nonetheless, this is a real step. Recently Sun made an announcement that superficially seems similar. It said that Sun had given us "free access to Sun OpenSolaris related patents under the Common Development and Distribution License." But those words do not really make sense. The CDDL is a license for the copyright on software, not a policy for licensing patents. It applies to specific code and nothing else. (Copyright and patents have essentially nothing in common in the requirements they impose on the public.)

Sun's new 3D desktop

Simon Phipps (who works at Sun Microsystems) is showing off Sun's new 3D desktop.

Why am I pointing to this? After all, Simon and Sun is trying to put me out of business. Because I want to be an authority on the operating system industry and to become an authority you must point to ALL stuff, not just that that's friendly.

Heck, Sun's doing some cool work here and it should be paid attention to -- particularly by Longhorn evangelists.

Is Sun's Vision Clear? 03/20/2003 01:05 PM
Sun Microsystems made news in August with its introduction of a general-purpose Linux server and its announcement of an upcoming Linux desktop "purple box," both built on Intel platforms. Those moves raised the question of whether Sun was abandoning its long-held strategy of tightly integrating its own processors, hardware and software.

In the future, Linux will be the desktop used by the most, and the least, computer-literate folks on the planet.

Sun's Looking Glass Provides 3D View

Sun's Looking Glass Provides 3D View 08/14/2004 10:24 PM
Recently Sun Microsystems released to its developers more code containing its 'Project Look Glass" technology. Project Looking Glass will offer users a 3D Desktop. Sun is hoping that this technology will give users a more exciting computing experience, and a good boost to its public image.

In order for this technology to succeed Sun needs to know what developers think of it. Without the support from other developers Project Looking Glass isn't going anywhere. So Sun has shipped early code of its latest project to developers. This is according to Craig Nicholas a technical support engineer at Sun. Apparently Project Looking Glass isn't an operating systems at all (despite earlier rumors); instead it’s a 'skin' that nearly sits on top of an operating system states Craig Nicholas. Though only 3D applications will be able to take advantage of Project Looking Glass, Sun is working hard on an application that will automatically rewrite the window management code in order for it to run in a 3D environment.

Early screenshots and videos of Project Looking Glass look very promising, but it’s unclear what Sun hopes to accomplish with it. A while ago Sun promised that it would open up its code to the open-source community, but in doing so what would Sun gain. The last time I checked Sun needed money.

Sun's identity pitch

Sun's identity pitch 12/16/2003 12:30 PM
At SunNetwork 2003 back in September, Jonathan Schwartz made the case that the Java card is the most strategic piece of Sun's whole technology stack. Actually, I'd say per-employee pricing is the real strategic innovation. But I've always hoped to see movement on the identity card front, so this clip, in which Schwartz stresses something I've been harping on for years, got my attention:

Java card support will be built into the desktop that we offer. It is the fundamental way we will help people to understand that if there were a menu item in your mail app that said, 'Show only mail from people that have been strongly authenticated,' then spam would disappear. 'Show me only content that has been strongly authenticated,' viruses would disappear.
