...calls Sun and Google ?the same company? because so much of Google's top brass is ex-Sun. Many of those same people, about 15 years ago, hatched a plan to use technology to radically transform the way people manage information.

...make sense of the Google-Sun deal? Here?s what we know: Sun has agreed to bundle the Google Toolbar with its Java programming tools, which are used by about 20 million developers around the world.

...thought you were worked up about the price of coffee. COLIN FIRTH is immersed in the issue. The Bridget Jones's Diary star endured a java shower for an ad campaign for the British charity Oxfam. "If I'm paying nearly $3 for a cup of coffee and some Ethiopian farmer gets 2% of that," he says, "where does the rest of it go?" Saying he is reluctant to be "just a windbag" on fair trade, Firth has also invested in a chain of coffee shops in London that pledges to compensate the crop's farmers fairly. He has worked...
