Sun Demurs On Open-Source Java

Tarantolato writes "A Sun spokesman and James Gosling now say that there are no set plans to distribute Java under an open-source license. According to Gosling, 'the debate is still going on, fast and furious'. Concerns about forking are cited, as usual."

    Don't they have like $4 billion in cash?

    You sound like a college student with $500 burning a hole in your pocket. Cash reserves shouldn't be squandered on crap. Apple will need that cash to stay afloat in the coming years. It's already quite clear they're a dying company. Their recent hardware lines have been abysmal failures and people are starting to wake up from their OS X induced fantasies and realize that for $3000 they could get a kickass AMD Athlon 64 desktop system running Linux that would trounce a G5 and for a mere $1500 they can get an AMD Athlon 64 laptop that puts all the Powerbooks to shame in terms of speed. Mark my words today, Apple will be bankrupt in 5 years.
