Those of you who are hardcore Apple watchers will recall that 10 years ago Sun was supposed to buy us. This was back when we were really hurting and almost going out of business. Scott made all sorts of promises and then the night before we were going to close the deal he canceled -- just left us standing at the altar. So we've been waiting for some payback, and now we've got it. Monday night we rented a suite at the Four Seasons in Palo Alto and had him wait there. Meeting was set for 9 and we were going to sign the papers. Then I just hung out in the Jobs Pod and kept having people call telling him I'm running late.

I was really hoping this would happen, and that the resulting company would be called Snapple.

Tin flavored apples ftw xkcd
