ナスダック株シンボル:JAVA

Jonathan Schwartzのブログより

• The Rise of JAVA - The Retirement of SUNW

Sunの株、ナスダックで取り引きされてますが、シンボルが代わったらしいです。

SUNW -> JAVA

ちなみに（知らんかったけど）、SUNWはStanford University Network Workstationの略。　スタンフォード大学の生徒が作り上げたワークステーションやもんな（そのままやん

To be very clear, this isn't about changing the company name or focus - we are Sun, we are a systems company, and we will always be a derivative of the students that created us, Stanford University Network is here to stay. But we are no longer simply a workstation company, nor a company whose products can be limited by one category - and Java does a better job of capturing exactly that sentiment than any other four letter symbol. Java means limitless opportunity - for our software, systems, storage, service and microelectronics businesses. And for the open source communities we shepherd. What a perfect ticker.

まぁ別にどうでもいい気もしますけど…。　スラッシュドットで話題になってておもろいコメントあった。

Yeah, what next? Microsoft changes their ticker to SUCK?

笑
