marketwatch.com — As soon as Google CEO Eric Schmidt was named to the board of directors at Apple some mild speculation ensued suggesting that he'd eventually become CEO of Apple. In fact Schmidt may have been brought in as the set-up pitcher for what may finally be the often rumored merger between Apple and Sun.

$13 Billion ( with a B ) revenue per year is nothing to shake a stick at.Then there is the Java.Most of Sun's customers are in the big enterprises. Just because you don't see them at BestBuy, doesn't mean they don't exist. Again... that's 1300 Million Dollars a year in revenue. That's alot of money in my book.Also, Java is really big in enterprises right now. Go search Monster.com for Java and J2EE. Lots of really good jobs out there if you know that stuff.

"but the man knows how to get people talking, knows what buttons to push to get that thoughtful discussion going."Stop making him sound noble. He's a self-promoting click-whore. He should have been jailed for misappropriating government funds when he ran that bogus study endorsing his own keyboard layout.

That's "drivel", but otherwise I agree with you.Not to say he doesn't dribble. He probably dribbles kool-aid. He definitely dribbles drivel.

@ schmichaelHeh, got a little bit overeager on the enter key I guess ;) I should have added...I would welcome a merger of Apple and Sun, preferrably if Apple were to purchase Sun and then Use OS X Server on (obviously, rebranded) Sun Hardware :) :)

Dvorak is the Nostradamus of IT. He throws a billion s**ts at a wall, waits for one to stick, and then expects to be praised.

boondoggle seriously, do you really believe Apple would buy Sun so it can sell enterprise servers its software doesn't run on?? C'monnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Apple isn't that in need of expanding its product line to venture so far out of its realm. This is truly comical.
