ORACLE and SUN Deal

About the deal between ORACLE and SUN.

1. What do you think is the effect of Oracle buying Sun?

*For me, I think there is no disadvantages on this deal between ORACLE and SUN's deal. This will be a big help not only to the two merging companies but as of all of us as well especially in the Information Technology sector. As Jonathan Schwartz Suns CEO said that “This is a fantastic day for Sun’s customers, developers, partners and employees across the globe, joining forces with the global leader in enterprise software to drive innovation and value across every aspect of the technology marketplace.” Now that sounds good.

2. What do you think would Bill Gates do about this?

*Im sure Bill Gates will be mad and disappointed for the reason he will loss some of investments. He will regret himself and some of his executives for not doing any "good" to his company. Im sure he will do something about ORACLE and SUN's deal. But despite all, he still holds the biggest company named microsoft. I think he doesn't mind this thing at all.

3. To you as a student using Java, how will this later affect your learning on the language?

*Of course, this will be a lot of help for me as a student. Actually, I recently learned this java programming thing. And as far as I have learned, it is difficult to master the program. And because of the deal between ORACLE and SUN. As I said, this deal will great for both companies and for the Information Technology Sector. And that includes me.

RAVEN RV01

This is the RAVEN RV01! The COOLEST CASE EVER!!!

NO FLOWERY WORDS!! First of all this product is COOL! Literally! First, I must inform you guys of the price of this product. It costs $229.99 or PhP 11039.52. The main purpose of this product is to organize and to relax the user of using this product.

Just look at the case?! Look at it!!
If you like the "Transformers" movie.. Then your going to like this one cuz the case looks like it came directly from the Transformers factory, and that's likely something you will either love or hate. Silverstone told us that the general feedback from customers so far is very good, and since the case is already available they apparently have sales to back up that statement.

This product features:

• All black outer design combined with sliding front door prevents components from affecting the exterior styling of RV01.
• Top-mounted stealth I/O ports for quick and convenient access.
• All connectors located on top of the case.
• Quick-release latch for fast side panel removal.
• Equiped with SilverStone OEM Aero slots to improve graphics card cooling.
• Top 120mm exhaust fan with reduced noise to complement overall airflow.
• Push buttond 5.25" drive bay locks for tool-free assembly.


• Revolutionary 90 degrees motherboard mounting enable stack effect for natural heat convection.
• Dedicated slots and tabs for cable management.
• Six removable hard drive trays with vibration dampening mounts and hot swap capability. (optional CP05 required for hot-swap functionality)
• Designed for RV01's positive pressure layout, two 180mm intake fans are fitted for unprecedented cooling performance and quietness.
• Bottom vent for optional power supply placement to isdate airflow.

As far as changing the direction the motherboard faces, the goal is simple. Silverstone wants to use a chimney stack effect where cool air comes in at the bottom and naturally flows upwards -- hot air rises. By designing a case where all of the air enters at the bottom and flows out the top, cooling should be improved and perhaps noise levels will be reduced at the same time. There are still fans to help out, but the natural airflow will hopefully reduce fan speeds. We can't actually prove that the stack effect is better or worse than other cases, since this case is only designed to work with the effect being active.
