Having read the article I don't know whether you're talking about the author or subject of the article. That would be Cynthia Karena vs James Gosling.

Ms. Karena's line about "hard-core IT geek" was hilarious, but the truly brilliant satire in that article comes straight from Gosling.

I'm humor-impaired. Can you explain why it's funny?

Because his language doesn't walk the talk?

Do funny guys create funny languages?

Mr Gosling says he never orders the same meal at a restaurant. That's akin to a lack of innovation.

Oh boy! What a character!

"We at Sun are the goofballs. We're the most open guys on the planet. We have no secrets. We talk to our customers and our competitors a lot. There's a shortage of corporate lines and public positions on things."

Disclaimer: I know (and like) several people at Sun. I still don't believe what he said.

It's funny because he trashes Apple and lauds Sun. Yet Apple is thriving and Sun is fading into irrelevance. He lauds Sun's open culture yet his predicted phone/computer is being created by Apple, not Sun. Who has the reality distortion field?
