- Excellent quality - fair price
The Outback RC1 binocular was purchased for a recent trip to Alaska, where I cared not to carry heavier Nikon's I own. The RC1 is lightweight, but not cheap looking. In fact, they are quite attractive and sturdy. These binoculars easily fit in a jacket pocket when in the closed position. Optics are very clear, crisp (light capture is outstanding) and lack any noticeable peripheral distortion. The adjustable right eyepiece was perfect for correcting a vision issue I must deal with and eye relief comfortable for one wearing glasses. I found the field of vision excellent for sightseeing and will be nice for sports as well. I considered the Outback 10 X 21, but the field of vision is about 20% less, magnification is 25% stronger and the price slightly more than the 8 X 21. The 8 X 21 was best for my needs and proved so once in the field and in use. The included neck cord will keep the RC1 at the correct height for easy reach when something of interest is spotted. So, in a nutshell, I recommend the Outback RC1 without hesitation. Good luck on your buying decision.

- Great bargain, nice binoculars
These are the best compact binoculars I've used that cost under $100. They are lightweight, sharp, and bright. They go everywhere with me. They're even friendly to glasses-wearers.

- Excellent compact binocs for the $$
We bought these so we could have them for a trip to Italy, and not have to carry our full size binoculars. They are clear and bright for their size, and extremely light and compact. Great for travel. They are not as bright as full size 10X42 Pentax binocs, but they are perfect as a travel or extra pair.

- buying a second pair!
I bought a pair of these about a year ago. I decided on this particular pair after reading the review in "Consumer Reports". I really liked them. I had never owned a pair of binoculars before because they were too large & heavy to tote around for very long. We bought these to take on a cruise & for the Colts games. My car was broken into recently & the binoculars were stolen. I will puchase a new pair soon, and I'm considering buying a pair for my Father for Christmas(he's really hard to buy for).

Sun in Trouble

Java Entrepreneur

Sun Microsystems has announced plans to cut between 5,000 and 6,000 jobs — that's between 15 and 18 percent of its workforce.

"It blamed the cuts on the global economic downturn, but I think that like many other companies, Sun is using the downturn as an excuse for what were pre-existing problems, foretold by its stock price, which seems to be in an unending swoon," suggests GigaOM's Om Malik.

"How much has Sun spent to develop Solaris or Java?" asks InfoWorld's Neil McAllister. "How much must it continue to invest in maintaining other products, which, despite being open source, have no appreciable development community? To say these products are not loss leaders suggests something akin to Hollywood accounting."

The answer? "Spin off Java," McAllister added in a later post. "Just get rid of it — farm it out to an industry consortium and let the companies that depend upon it manage it..."

More here from CNET News ... more here from the Guardian ... more here from ZDNet ... more here from TG Daily ... and the press release is here.
