JAVA is a technology whose value is near infinite to the internet, and a brand that's inseparably a part of Sun (and our profitability). And so next week, we're going to embrace that reality by changing our trading symbol, from SUNW to JAVA. This is a big change for us, capitalizing on the extraordinary affinity our teams have invested to build, introducing Sun to new investors, developers and consumers. Most know Java, few know Sun - we can bring the two one step closer.

Oh man, I couldn't help laugh when I read The Rise of JAVA - The Retirement of SUNW.

It had me immediately thinking of a room of people:

• Ok, what can we do to make a difference
• Brainstorm new names for JavaFX?
• Nah, we don't have anything else to rename yet....
• Yes we do! Let's rename the stock ticker symbol
• YAY! WHAT VALUE WE ADD

Oh momma.
