Oracle busy removing all traces of Sun from the Internet
Oracle is not kidding when they acquire a company, and Sun is no exception. They are actively replacing every single instance of “Sun” and Sun owned companies (such as MySQL) with “Oracle” everywhere.
Witness this post from Mark Matthews, which initially read (web archive link from 2006):
and which has now become:
Mark Matthews Principal Software Developer - Enterprise Tools Oracle http://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/monitor.html
In a few years, all traces of Sun will probably have been completely wiped off the Internet.

In this case it looks more like the post itself didn't change, but Mark just changed the signature that is displayed below the postings.
Updating one's signature I can understand, but going back through all your older posts that you've ever made and updating their signature with your new employer? I'm having a hard time seeing why someone would do that unless they were asked to.
Speculating, but it may be that updating your signature automatically "changes" it across every post you've ever made on that forum.
Who cares. They (Sun) sold themselves and they're getting what they deserve.
Signatures usually are dynamic in forums, so if he updated his signature recently all of his older posts were updated too.
It's called "acquisition" for a reason!!
Should we now use sun-block if using Oracle, or will we be confronted to use Oracle-block when going into the sun?
absolutely who cares if they change........
