** Sun Peels IBM Off The Street
Never let it be said that Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy
doesn't know how to clean up, at least in PR skirmishes. Sun
volunteers have fanned out this week to help rebuild houses,
combat illiteracy, fight hunger, and clean up the San Francisco
Bay area's environment. Some volunteers have even been detailed
to corporate-graffiti removal.
That's because IBM got all loose and crazy last week: It painted
stenciled Linux ads on city sidewalks in San Francisco, which
royally ticked off some residents. When IBM didn't clean up after
itself fast enough, Sun volunteers swooped in to wipe out the
offending corporate tags. - Diane Rezendes
