nightspd writes "David Berlind of Cnet has written a series of articles over at ZDNet about IBM's return to market dominance, including this one titled When Will IBM Buy Sun? It's a VERY interesting read and a very interesting predition, and poses a question. With the mega-merger of Compaq and Hewlett-Packard going forward, can we expect other possible mega-mergers down the line in the tech arena? Is a IBM buyout of Sun possible and/or viable?"

    IBM are a company that got completely screwed over by a jumped up startup, used to sing corporate songs, had a dress code that included garters, and paid their employees by th KLOC.

    I think we should hope they continue to die.
