At Fortune's iMeme conference, Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz repeats a tired old quote about how he likes to drink wine from a bottle while his predecessor, Scott McNealy, drinks wine out of a box. Quips a News.com reporter: "Maybe they should hire someone who likes to drink wine out of a glass and see where…
Sun Microsystems' loitering chairman Scott McNealy, when asked about the dining preferences of Jonathan Scwartz (his successor as Sun CEO):
Poor Scott McNealy. The Sun Microsystems ex-CEO and current chairman is the hungry ghost of Silicon Valley, showing up at the odd event and rattling his chains sadly. This time it's tomorrow night's Stirr mixer, guest hosted by CNET's Rafe Needleman. (Incidentally, Needleman himself is pimping his new CNET blog …
Last night, I cheated my way into a book party for California-based writer and web publisher Arianna Huffington at the San Francisco guest house of Oracle CEO Larry Ellison and romance novelist Melanie Craft Ellison. First lesson: Don't go to a society event dressed for a Silicon Valley geek party. Second lesson: F.…
At the end of an interview, Forbes asked Sun CIO Bill Vass (pictured here on High School Portrait Day) how new CEO Jon Schwartz is different than his predecessor Scott McNealy. He answered — in Valleyspeak, natch. Let's dissect.

Closer and closer sources confirm the persistent rumor that Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy will bow out. The old softie can't handle the pressure to fire workers — he never did like to lay off staff — according to the San Jose Mercury News. And he'll always have a spot open as chairman.
Scott McNealy will resign as CEO of Sun Microsystems, according to a Forbes story reportedly in the works. But when a journalist (and tipster) called Sun, they'd heard no such thing.
Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy (pictured, and doesn't he look cute and comfortable, and completely not posed at ergonomically disastrous angles) wrote an open letter to Hewlett-Packard CEO Mark Hurd, asking, "Let's converge [HP operating system] HP-UX with [Sun operating system] Solaris 10."
Scott McNealy made a few good jabs at his frenemy Microsoft. The Sun CEO's best gag was implying he wants to shoot Bill Gates in the face. Ha! Ha! Such friendly jests!
