This article is very interesting. However, the headline strongly indicates that it was submitted here to smear Sun.

Firstly, the headline is at odds with the conclusion in the article; the article states that they would have preferred Sun's updated (fixed) product if it had been released at the time.

The headline takes one specific company's experience with one specific product and generalizes it to cover the vendor's entire storage product line.

The comment poster, Onethumb, has never commented or submitted to this site before.

I have no affiliation with Sun.



Of course http://www.onethumb.com/ happens to take you to a blog with a subtitle "Thought stream from SmugMug’s CEO & Chief Geek".

But anyone could've registered that name.

I'm also mildly amused that he went from Quake-related news to photo sharing (of course the Quake/gaming community is much different than how it was in the beginning).


But anyone could've registered that name.

If you're referring to the domain name - it looks like it was registered (or is at least affiliated) with SmugMug / Don MacAskill.

Try comparing $whois onethumb.com | grep "nserver" to $whois smugmug.com | grep "nserver"


Sorry. I was referring to his username.

I had a faint recollection that Don had used onethumb in the past, and the website was the best evidence after a quick Google.
