Given my previous success at predicting Google's fortunes, I’m going to make another unique prediction here.
A while ago, I published on my own weblog a critique of Google’s equity price that was very widely picked up by some other blogs, including some of the mainstream online press and investment banks. The essence of the argument was that at a price-to-earnings ratio of around 90, when compared to Microsoft’s meagre 20, Google stock was way, way overvalued and that the stock was heading for a plunge. Easy to say with hindsight, but I received a lot of criticism for it at the time of writing in November:…

This is gibberish. Google uses no Sun products;
Google has no need for Sun products;
Does Java count as a SUN product ?
Why don't you shut up and let the grown-ups talk ;)

Well that's convinced me, Alex.
Mr Martin and jfb2002 make a convincing case that Google shouldn't touch Sun. All points overlooked by Mr Harrison who needs to go back to business school and start in the remedial class.
Google doesn't run on Sun software or hardware, and doesn't need Sun software or hardware, which would significantly add to Google's costs. Sun's business is shrinking. There's no upside here.
Why don't you try and address the points raised rationally, instead of sneering. It isn't very convincing.
This is the most idiotic post I've ever read on Blogcritics.

It only makes sense as a weapon against Microsoft. Google would break Sun in small companies and would sell them again to different microsoft competitors, keeping little itself.
Currently Sun is in a bad position because it competes in different markets: Servers, Operating Systems, Application servers, databases, user applications, Java (VM and language), etc.
Sun value is much higher in pieces that as it is currently. Redhat would pay a lot for all the solaris customers. IBM for the server technology. Java would become more valuable owned by a non profit organization, and they can keep the trademark. Oracle could by the applications server stack.
I really do not understand what are they waiting.

I have the same problem as Philip. The extension worked for two days, after that it will clear the window and not display anything. I tried to uninstall mozilla, delete the profile and extensions and reinstall, but no luck :(
