[General] Sun to buy MySQL for $1 billion

[bashar abdullah]

Well Majed I personally haven't worked on an Oracle implementation, but I
heard it's good depending on the implementer. So if you've got some other
opinion or suggestion, please tell me about CRM, HR, and Finance ones you
know. I based my statement on other user reviews who seemed to just love it.
I think SAP is already suggested, so I will give it more thought. Thanks

Facebook and Google cross-sharing info, that's really scary now. If things
go correct without infringing on user privacy, this could be really
brilliant, as I personally hate locking my profile in one place. The
statement "where users can take their data from the websites they use to
reuse elsewhere" gives a bit of relief, if they really intend to follow it.
Meaning that I CAN move my profile. It's very much different than my profile
IS MOVED. Better keep an eye on those things
