The U.S. stock market had a really happy week last week. The market was on a long rally, and a number of high-profile technology vendors made interesting moves. The first was the release of Dell’s Adamo product — the first laptop offering that really was rethought as more of an art project than a typical laptop. While expensive, it actually feels worth it. The second was the leak that Sun was about to be acquired by IBM for $7 billion, which has to have old time IBMers dancing in the aisles. Sun pounded on IBM a lot in the ’90s.
