MSNBC reports on Sun Microsystems (now that Micro$oft and Sun are all buddy-buddy ;-) Kiss-kiss-kissy, kiss, kiss). Our Java logo on cell phones is described as being like the Dolby logo on stereos. See: J2ME technology logo like Dolby logo Here's a quote: As vice president of brand experience and community marketing, Ms. Van Den Hoogen in 2003 developed a new brand campaign for Sun's Java software platform. Sun partnered with cell phone makers to show a newly-designed Java logo for a moment when consumers turned on their Java-equipped wireless phones. The idea was to convince them that Java was as essential on a cell phone as "Dolby" is on a stereo system.So, I know Thomas Dolby (Robertson) has nothing to do with the Dolby sound system, and he moved on from his 1980s hit "She Blinded Me with Science" to bigger and better things, like heading the Java-based sound company called Headspace. But, boy that's a catching tune!
