Foremski proven right (kinda): Sun only fires 122 workers

Every journalist knows, some tips are too juicy to be true. Despite ZDNet columnist Tom Foremski's dire prediction of thousands of Sun layoffs today, Jon Schwartz's company only cut 400 jobs today. BusinessWeek says that 122 are in Colorado, 113 in Menlo Park, according to a Colorado Department of Labor official. A pain for those who got fired, but more Boston Massacre than Nanjing Massacre.
