We suggested this idea at the beginning of 2008, as a Joke. Now it is true:
Sun and Oracle today announced a definitive agreement for Oracle to acquire Sun for $9.50 per share in cash. The Sun Board of Directors has unanimously approved the transaction. It is anticipated to close this summer.
Oracle and IBM are face to face. It is hard to say what this could means.

Some times ago I have the lucky to read "Producing Open Source Software":
[...] a book about the human side of open source development. It describes how successful projects operate, the expectations of users and developers, and the culture of free software. The book is released under an open copyright: it is available in bookstores and from the publisher (O'Reilly Media), or you can browse or download it [...]
Valuable parts, which we suggest to read:Open source so can be a way for a cheap investiment.

I am not a big fan of portal software, because it is not cheap to delivery.
Portal specification is heavy to use and implement, and can have a reason only in very big corporate company.
SingleSignOn can be delivered in different and simpler way.
The big advanteg of the Portal is the ability to “deactivate” specific unstable feature on the fly, with also the ability to aggregate remote data (remote portlet is one of the key of the idea behind portal specification).

We tried Elvyx, a JDBC probe, without a full success. Our quality vote is 5, because of the following bad aspects:
- Very poor documentation. It is unclear if timings are returned in milliseconds or in seconds: no word about it!
- Returned value are often inconsistent, so we cannot use it very well.

After my past experience with bad hosting provider, I am happy to say I have find a very good hosting service. If you need VPS hosting, Rimuhosting is a very good choice.
After about two years with Rimuhosting, I can summarize their feature here:
- They have a very good entry-price for a virtual hosting
- System aministrator has a very prompt response: on every issue I get support in 24 hours, also on Sunday
- Rimuhosting uses a Xen virtualization mechanism which is very effective. I have tried other virtualized solution, which are worst.
- Java hosting works well, without problems.
- The default Bandwith is very huge (30GB). There is also an automatic backup and a remote web-based shell out-of-the-box.
- You can choose between high-end Linux distribution (like Red Hat enterprise) and free one.
