January 16th, 2008 | 
Author: This just in. According to the Wall Street Journal Sun Microsystems, Inc. has agreed to buy MySQL (the company). What’s up with that?

I mean, sure MySQL has come a long way in the last several years. Sure, the big G uses it as well as many social networking and bookmarking sites. But, is it really worth $1 billion?
Are we going to have to buy new versions of MySQL? What’s this mean for all the companies that are using MySQL? Will Sun be buying PHP next?
Is this a good thing?
