Sun makes users sick
Virus problems
Mon May 12 2008, 08:53
DELEGATES to Sun Microsystems’ Java One conference seem to have come down with a dangerous virus which is spread by touching something dirty.
More than 60 delegates suddenly suffered from nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea for between 24 to 48 hours. As this was before they listened to Sun’s marketing spin, health officials were worried.
Responsible was norovirus and the Department of Public Health warned people who believed they had been infected to stay at home.
Sun notified attendees about the illness by e-mail but did not cut the conference short. The conference was not cancelled, but the whole centre had to be covered with disinfectant. µ

I know you like to kick Sun for any reason, but they are just hiring the Moscone Center (the location of the infection) for a conference.

You could have pointed out that the Moscone Center web page has no mention of the current problem.
