Comment Sun: Ugly Computing and Declining Quality (Score 1, Flamebait) 481
Sun hardware -- like that of other workstation vendors from the early nineties NeXT, HP and SGI -- used to be the absolute balls. Those machines were built like brick shithouses; you could hammer nails with an old Sun keyboard. Now, the flimsy Taiwanese crap they ship is just commodity PC junk marked up to ludicrous prices only a Lockheed Martin would pay.
Let's be honest, Sun is a deeply arrogant company and Solaris has got to be the ugliest, most antiseptic and lifeless computing experience a human being can have forced upon them. It's a chore not to go start raving insane from the cold, clinical dullness of it all.
Sun could use Apple, alright, as Apple at least makes their computers with actual human beings in mind. Sun machines feel like they're built for robot accountants.
There is simply no reason to accept this crap anymore. Like Java itself, Sun has become a bloated, self-important waste of time. Adios amigos! You will not be missed.
NeXT!
