JavaOne: Want an Opteron for a penny? LG under GPL?

Sitting in Scott McNealy's keynote this morning - he just announced that Allied Irish Bank are replacing Windows on 7,500 desktops with JDS, and he also announced that there's a premium Java developer subscription and an Opteron workstation on eBay with a reserve of a penny. Scott also just announced that the 3D desktop, Project Looking Glass, is now available under GPL.

Bloggers @ JavaOne

Well, we had a great gathering last night at the Thirsty Bear - too many folk to even begin to name, we had the staff quite worried with the number of people trying to cram into a tiny space. One guest I will name though is Jonathan Schwartz, Sun's new President, who came over to share a beer with the Java Bloggers and to celebrate the launch of his new blog.
