Yeah, SUN was cool back in the day before it moved to the "cursed" Santa Clara building. Interestingly, their original office is now occupied by Facebook (1 Hacker Way) and there is still sign of SUN in front of Facebook - unofficially to remind Facebook it shouldn't stop innovating.

- lobster_johnson 9y agoWhat do you mean by "cursed"?
- bitL 9y agoScott McNealy blamed SUN's misfortune on moving to a former psychiatric ward in Santa Clara - it coincides with SUN's loss of luck (and some directors really believed the building was cursed). Also, business-wide there is a known "headquarters curse", when a company feels it needs to have a more representative HQ. Let's see what it does to Apple.
- fred_is_fred 9y agoI think the failure has more to do with leaders who believe in curses than actual curses.
