Rumors.  Rumors are potent forces in this world.

Rumor that has many folks wagging their tongues today is that IBM may purchase Sun Microsystems.

The only part of the rumor that makes me ponder its value is that IBM may offload the hardware division on Fujitsu, Sun’s partner in CPU designs.

Sadly, instead of the Beatles diddy, I keep thinking the song that’s most appropriate is:

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, Im gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
