Blog of the month: Jonathan Schwartz, CEO, Sun Microsystems
I follow Jonathan Schwartz’s weblog not because he is the CEO of Sun but because his posts make me think. It is not unusual for executives to brag how great their products are but he does it an objective way. Not only that, he “teaches” why a feature is important and why we should care. […]
