    Key Features of Google Finance (EDGR, GOOG, MORN, TSCM, YHOO) [view article]
    Nice to see Google roll out a beta product that's more ripe than Base and Video were.

    Some other things to note:

    - Tickers: you can enter a company's name for results, without knowing the ticker symbol (Yahoo makes you search for the ticker, which is annoying)

    - News: the timing of the news items mapped onto the chart.. I suppose this is to help one understand why the stock moved at a certain time, but I'm not sure it will work. David points out one clear failure. Also, just as the blog results on Google Finance aren't the same as the Google Blog Search results for that ticker, the Google News results differ as well. They apparently have another filter on those results.

    - Great use of Ajax to render certain elements quickly without requiring click-through -- for example, management profiles.     Reply

    Google to Acquire Sun? (GOOG, SUNW) [view article]
    Google would be nuts to buy Sun. They are in very different businesses, and Sun can't work out how to make money for the life of them. They have a platform like Java, and IBM makes all of the money from it.

    They open source their app server, and it is hardly used (I know they claim lots of downloads). They put a lot of effort into Apache Tomcat and don't get credit for it. Open sourcing Solaris? Just a few years too late.

    Ouch.     Reply
