–Cisco CEO and CFO certify the company’s financial statements
Funny stocks used to go down on fears that they would not certify, but fail to go up when they do, maybe it was simply an excuse. Interesting that none of the major Silicon Valley companies failed to certify or had an accounting scandal, maybe the true tech revolution is also ethical.
–Sun to agressively sell Linux with its computers.
Oh! Oh! Is this bad luck for Linux? Another failed anti-Microsoft strategy? Why is Sun always paranoid about Microsoft? Sun should just find its own vision. This must be the 37th. anti-Microsoft strategy planned by Sun. Sounds weird, expensive box, Linux inside. McNealy says his boxes will be cheaper, I remember him saying the same thing when the Pentium first came out in ’93.
–Lucent will do anything to return to profits
Umm, Lucent must be on its 17th. consecutive warning on profits. Is it different this time? Merge with Nortel? Fire everyone? Build a molecular transistor?. Compete with Dell? How about using Linux? Oh, no, I guess Unix was born here I guess we just decided to give it away for free!
–Cisco sees Dell as a competitor
Well, if this were sports I would be happy, but maybe Cisco will find at last a true competitor. I like Cisco better if only because there is no Mr. Cisco, even if his name may be Chambers.
–Intersil may start a price war on 802.11a chipsets
Maybe this will be THE solution to the broadband access problem. Cheap wireless networks everywhere!!
What I find weird about this story is that nobody says Bill Gates is the suspected hacker.
