Design behind the design :)

Exploring Boxes and Arrows today I’ve found a broken link. The 404-page suggested me to “go back to where you come from”. Nice.

I had an intention to help by informing a webmaster but I didn’t find any single contact (or at least the way to contact the authors) on the whole website. Nothing. Closed like a Black Box.

May be this is a new step in UX evolution, who knows…

Red Giant

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Oracle buys Sun Microsystems. It seems this company simply cann’t stop shopping… Peoplesoft, Siebel, InnoDB and now Java and MySQL.

If we call IBM a blue giant should we name Oracle a red one? Or may be a Red Devil?…

Not carrying about Java at all, I’m worried about the MySQL future a bit. I don’t want to see this great project dying. The market sees it different, however.
