Harvard? Get Real That Sad Institution is Sinking

Sun use to stand for Stanford University Network and the author of this article is pulling our legs in implying that Harvard has any notion what-so-ever in what it takes for a technology firm to be successful in today's "You-are-person-of-the-year" read write world.

Lets put this into perspective.

Sun, Google, and You Tube were all Stanford University class projects. Harvard may take some credit for Eclipse, since it has claim to Connecticut/North Carolina/IBM and IBM donated Eclipse to Open Source but Eclipse did not over shadow any tool until the Harvard educated president of Microsoft stepped so purposefully into Abramoff culture of corruption ways. It is to Harvard's credit that the school now rejects Gates Foundation money and disassociates itself from Gates (a Harvard likely-asked-to-leave-because-of-computer-time-theft non graduate.) Nonetheless, the days when Harvard might be compared to Stanford for technology and business training are long gone and not likely to return for 100 years. The school is tainted by the poor ethical quality of its graduates.

I understand that Sun is the largest technology vendor for both Boeing and for the State-of-Washington. If true, this has been true since the company got into storage technology and auditors realized that versioning electronic records so the Harvard-educated couldn't shred paper records ala Enron/Arthur Andersen would be a requirement for the new-age. Sun management created that market. Sun management positioned their company to profit from that. The Harvard educated just refuse to see.
