Sun, the digital divide, and spaceman chic

Nice essay in his blog by Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz on the digital divide. The gist of it was that a company Sun's size ought to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time, that corporate responsibility and a long-range vision really do matter, and that it shouldn't all be about short-term bottom line concerns.

Of course, some might argue that tackling the digital divide is a job more suited to, say, this guy.

Note the photo, by the way. With technology executives Mark Shuttleworth, Dennis Tito, Gregory Olsen setting the style, I think that Steve Jobs and Jonathan Schwartz are no longer the style-setters of the industry. The astronaut look is in.
