There have been some interesting items that have been on the great newstands recently:

Sun Bonuses

How about if you got huge bonuses even if you company was tanking? This is what our trusted friends in the Sun management team are getting.

Sun’s board and top management approved McNealy’s $1.1 million bonus last week, after the company reported an 85 percent decline in fourth-quarter net income and said it would slash 1,000 jobs–about 3 percent of its work force.

The board approved a $280,000 bonus for Sun President Jonathan Schwartz and rewards of more than $150,000 for the heads of finance, human resources and technology

Apple

Who can take a commodity device, innovate a little, and resell it for a larger margin than anyone else? Only Apple.

Although, maybe this is changing a little. Instead of all of the “we love you apple” talk, we are getting:

One fan threatened to remove his Apple tattoo should the company include the security chip in its new Macintosh products.

There are MANY things wrong with that statement :)

Googzilla

Mozilla.com hit the ‘net this week. Brendan Eich put it out there, and many got right on it.

Conclusion? “Come on. this is just so Google can buy it right?”
