The Chairman of the Board speaks about Java ME tech

No, not that Chairman of the Board, the other chairman of the board--of Sun Microsystems, Scott McNealy. I was driving on my way home last night and heard Scott McNealy on NPR's Pacific Time radio show. He was talking about Silicon Valley's connection to Japan. And, about Java ME technology!

Yay.

See:

Chairman of the Board talks about Sun (and Java ME)
Fast-forward to timestamp 11:04 (skip the bird flu and tuna stories)

Here's a quote:

 Kids are into... walking with 
 their heads down, thumbing 
 their cell phones [in real-time
 communication with each other]
 ...I love the way they're [Japan]
 taking advantage of... TV 
 broadcasting to your cell 
 phone...
Well when the chairman of the board talks about Java ME technology, you better listen. Or, would you rather be a fish?

 And all the monkeys aren't in a zoo
 Every day you meet quite a few
 So you see its all up to you
 You can be better than you are
 You could be swinging on a star
         -- The Other Chairman of the Board Frank Sinatra, Swingin On A Star
