Apple Buys GigaSpaces
I am happy to say that GigaSpaces, the company I work for, was just bought by Apple. Apple are going to use GigaSpaces product as part of their Xgrid product line in order to provide similar online services such as Amazon EC2 and S3.
While there were rumors Apple were going to buy or better integrate a proper Java application server, they quickly found out that GigaSpaces provides a simpler platform (yea, we gave them a taste of our upcoming next version) for next generation application (not only high end computing!) and decided to include GigaSpaces as part of their Mac OS X Server distribution as well.
Personally I am really excited about working for Apple. I will be moving to Copertino in a couple of months and the first task on my list is make Steve (hey I am an employe, so I can call him by his first name) love Java again.

You didn’t get acquired by the Guice team? Crazy Shay has a ring to it…

Dude, this is really going to mess up Oracle’s acquisition of Apple .. ;-)

Basing on the history of both Steve Jobs and Larry Ellison, I am not sure that Steve will ever let “Big Red” to buy Apple.
