Sun

Sun Microsystems, of course, not the bright light in the really big room with the blue ceiling.

Foxbean Liebknecht kindly gave me a landmark to the Sun build in SL. It's neat. Lots of info about Java, freebies (clothing, and objects made to resemble various Sun products), invitations to submit a resume, and so on.

One thing that interests me is Sun's Project Darkstar (OK, now that CSN song is stuck in my head), an Open Source scalable gaming environment. I note especially that it's designed to be easily distributed, and avoids the tying of CPU cycles to a specific region that plagues SL. It will be very interesting to see what comes of it.
