ANTA CLARA, Calif., April 20, 2009 -- Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: JAVA) and Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ: ORCL) announced today they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Oracle will acquire Sun common stock for $9.50 per share in cash. The transaction is valued at approximately $7.4 billion, or $5.6 billion net of Sun's cash and debt.

Here I'd like to reference a famous Chinese poetry.

天净沙 秋思

枯藤老树昏鸦，
小桥流水人家，
古道西风瘦马。
夕阳西下，
断肠人在天涯。

My Blog, My Life

Those who have ever read my blogs would find the contents have little to do with technology stuffs. I'd say I dislike mixing my work and my life since I've already contributed most of my time to the work while awake. It's terrible to infect my blogs with the tedious work details. And technology-intensive stuffs can simply drive most of my readers away. I do love my job. But it should never annex my life. Calling to mind, I wasn't a student purely on science and engineering. I was totally addicted to reading geographic books and catching odd insects in my childhood. In the senior high school, handling the courses such as biology, geography, history and English is a piece of cake for me so that I was hesitated to continue my study in the science class or the literature class when the students were asked to make choices. Later, I selected computer science as my major with no reasons that convinced myself. Now I have a fancy to read Wikipedia and visit museums to digest the geographic, historical and sociological information. Afterward, I experienced it by traveling. What I'm enthusiastic to do is to share my Picasa album which records the world in my eyes and represent my feeling of the world. No matter what sorts of frustrations and tangles that come to me, the world is splendid. I like keep talking to deliver what I know. But little echos were received. Anyway, as I indicated, to me it's the best gift on earth to experience the amazing world.
