Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

A time comes when silence is betrayal. Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak out with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.

Sun gets "Back In Black"

"I hit the sack, I've been too long I'm glad to be back, Yes, I'm let loose, From the noose, That's kept me hanging about I've been looking at the sky 'Cause it's gettin' me high Forget the hearse 'cause I never die I got nine lives Cat's Eyes Abusin' every one of them and running wild Cause Im BAAHHAAACCACKK, Back in Black."

Sorry, couldnt resist, a big hair moment if you will. Anyway, temporary good news for Sun and potentially a good indicator for the tech industry. The linked news.com article reveals that Sun has climbed back into the profitability range for the current quarter. However, Sun has had a rough year overall and expects to be back in the red in the next quarter. This next quarter slump based on current projections isnt terrible though. Sun traditionally has weak first quarters (according to the the linked article).

In our topsy turvy world, Sun reports profits for current quarter, stock price FALLS 17 percent. (Nice touch considering over the last few years many tech companies have reported enormous losses and burn rates while watching their stocks RISE.)

Check the linked article for more info. (Oh and check here for more info on a great band.) Sun back in black--for now: news.com
