Posted by Hemos on from the pushing-whatevery-they-can dept.

scapermoya writes "eWeek is reporting that Sun has started blitzing consumers , trying to increase public awareness about Java, with everything from accosting pedestrians to "Java Powered" logos begining to appear on some devices that are J2ME (Java 2 Media Edition) compatable. Tiny cup logos will now be pasted on everything from cell phones to microwaves." But not on Space Invaders clones.

    They are? To whom?

    While I can agree that I have seen Java developers doing C# lately, I have also see the reverse happening. I don' thave any numbers but "extremely fast pace"?

    Seriously, how many times are we going to have to hear someone bitch about Sun asking Taco to change the name of his Space Invader's clone? They didn't want you to yank the game Taco, they wanted you to change the name. Quit whining like a 3-year-old and get over it. It was how many years ago? It was about branding and their worries about people affiliating your game with their product. Get over yourself.
