I love this video. I was also there at the very special night. At the 1:43:40 mark I asked Bill to retell the story of how, "The Network Is The Computer" tag line, that was Sun's mantra, came about. Bill turns this over to John Gage to tell. Many great stories in there. A great story is Scott McNealy telling the story of Bill in Japan and "the colors matter" referring to a white board discussion. Sad to see that Sun is gone, but glad for videos such as this. --Dave Edstrom Sun emp# 3705
Open Systems, Solaris Containers, Grid & Utility Computing, Bright People, Plenty of Passion and "The Network is The Computer" reminds me of that Panasonic tag line, "Just slightly ahead of our time". Fond memories of my time (2003-2009) with Sun (Stanford University Network) Microsystems.
I just interviewed Scott McNealy, what an amazing guy! He is second to none in terms of incredible CEO's and creating an exceptional corporate culture. If you are interested go check it out --> Episode #05 of Tahoe Minds!
Seems like the lady at 1:34:18 was right and Scott was wrong. I'm too young to remember, but what exactly happened to Sun, that it went from $4.5B in the bank in 2006 to being bought by Oracle for $7B 2 years later?
Vinod is dead wrong about Digital 38:18. The PDP-11, VAX, VMS (kinda lives on as Windows NT), clustering and of course Alpha, which luckily for Sun, Intel conspired to kill off.
No, that was Adobe, which was also taken over by the Indian Mafia and is now in the process of dying just like Sun did. valleypatriot.com/h-1b-foreign-workers-are-destroying-merrimack-valley-economy/
1:58:00 This is how OLIGARCHY was created in us via patent system. This is why most startups these days goes opensource! This is ultimately corporationism/fascism/private-public partnership -> comunism. This has to end. Patents? Okey 5 years MAX! Not freaking 20 like Microsoft for FAT32 then "using it's position" instread of NTFS or ext or whatever filesystem forced use of crappy exFAT to get money of every SD card sold every pendrive every device.

almost 7 years later, the views of some of these people are still highly relevant.
R.I.P. Sun Microsystems.

Vinod’s laugh is one of a kind. Great memory.
Love this, This is amazing. Thanks Computer History Museum for capturing this.
Prasanna Kakhandaki Loot and remit.
In retrospect, investing money in Sun Microsystems in 2006 would have been a terrible idea, given the fact it went belly up in 2009

AMD64 designs took over and 'cloud' computing abstracted who-the-hell was on the backend (it just doesn't matter).
How it was. Times changed. Equality, from every angle, gave us more celebratory events.
Great video.We learned about how Sun Microsystems was created.
But few know the reason it was destroyed valleypatriot.com/h-1b-foreign-workers-are-destroying-merrimack-valley-economy/
@@tenminutetokyo2643 h1b?
brings back great memories for me
Does any one know what presentation Vinod Khosla is talking about at the 25:15 mark when he describes the "zero billion dollar" company?
Some made up BS. All Indians are spectacular bullshiters.
"Innovation is the cessation of stupidity."
Is john gage the 5th founder of the company ?
How did I get here?
I look forward the reunion of The Beatles of Silicon Valley so they can finish the tale of Fast Eddy and others.
1:9:00 he just spoke about the concept of vlogs right there!!
Vinod is dead wrong about Digital 38:18. The PDP-11, VAX, VMS (kinda lives on as Windows NT), clustering and of course Alpha, which luckily for Sun, Intel conspired to kill off.
Plus of course the nonsense that there is innovation in computing - every 'new' bit is built on the work of others.
Right after buying out Macromedia :) QC
