SUN Microsystems Sun is keener than ever to port Linux to its new multicore T1 chip, even if it's not expected to happen for six to nine months. The company has made T1 servers available to Linux developers and is working with unnamed Linux distributors to develop the port. And while a port may be completed this year, it will be a while before Linux on T1 appears in production environments; application certification and support will be needed as well.

"Just did a search. A minute of browsing the list and I see an announcement for OSX 10.4.3, but it's only a technical article in the sense that it lists technical improvements. But OSX is listed many times in relationship to product announcements, I admit."

There is also a 10.4.4 release announcement in the list I posted.

"It's the end of the month. Care to contrast that with Apple-oriented news sites? A number of these are products not strictly on OS X, and a much larger number are about hardware that can run OSX but also runs something else. ;) "

Actually, sure. Go check out macrumors.com and thinksecret.com.

http://www.macrumors.com/pages/

Roughly 60 articles, some of them BARELY related to apple/osx, and most are non-technical.

"but it's only a technical article in the sense that it lists technical improvements" <-- a lot of the sun articles are not technical, what's your point?

"Shen I do a search on "Sun" and "Solaris" I come up with a larger number than you did. So let's see... there are about 300 Linux distributions running on dozens of hardware platforms and Solaris which runs on two (plus a very alpha PowerPC version of OpenSolaris) gets something like 1/2 the articles as compared to Linux. Lest we forget, every ODF article has more in common with Sun and OpenOffice than it does with Linux, too. "

"As far as your preachy and worthless rambling about libel goes, the proof is right here in front of you. Linux certainly has more than 20x the market share of Solaris/Sun right now (it sure as hell has over 20x the related news) and yet it has a much larger share of the news here on this site. You don't agree with me that it's fishy that there is so much Sun coverage and so many Sun evangelists here, fine. But you see, opinions are like arseholes, because everyone's got one and everyone thinks the other guy stinks. "

When I do a search on Linux, then Ubuntu, then Debian, then Xandros, then etc etc etc, I come up with a HUGE amount. Easily 20x more than the sun/solaris posts. Again, you offer false "evidence" to back up your claims.

"Don't like what I post? Think my opinion stinks? I don't mind you telling me so, but as far as going away, I'd shoot you cold in the face before I would give up my free speech. You'd better believe it. "

Nobody is asking you to give up your free speech, and threatening me (or whatever you meant by "I'd shoot you cold in the face") is not going to solve anything. Free speech is one thing, libel is another. Insulting people, making derogatory comments about a site somebody runs as a hobby, making false/unsubstanciated claims - this is not "protected" by free speech rights. Not to mention, it really makes you out to be an ass.

I'm not self rightous, but I don't go around accusing OSnews of a bunch of things, especially lacking any factual information. I state my mind, and I back up my claims. I've once AGAIN refuted your "evidence" because you contradict yourself, again.

Regardless, this is my last post here, I hope somebody from OSnews hits you with the ban stick the next time you go to far and throw insults. (Probably the next Sun article)
