Your statement only makes sense if that blog post was removed before the SEC was
told that the blog was official.
People reading blogs don't go "oh, that's an old posting, that's obviously
just random personal junk".[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Instead of the year it covers?
That would sound like a pretty dodgy argument, even if we were to accept that a
CEO publishing himself on his own company's domain name and talking about
company policies is somehow unofficial.
It certainly wouldn't speak highly of a company to basically say "Ignore
what our
CEOs say, they can't be trusted"[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Nope. See my corrections to your comments above.
The SEC filing doesn't make it a corporate blog;
it just proves it.
The 10K which called it a corporate blog was
filed for the year June 2007 to June 2008, and
the Android blog entry was in November of 2007.
So you are wrong. Stop posting incorrect info,
please. This is Groklaw.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Care to provide pointers to SEC or other documents that
state that anything the CEO of a company says on a public
document published by the company is not to be considered if
there is no forward looking statement?
You're making some bold pronouncements - but providing not
evidence that what you say is right.
From my one class in business law (take it with a large
grain of salt), the CEO is an agent of the company. What he
says can bind the company, even if he mis-speaks. Certainly
if the CEO of a company says "X is policy" AND THE BOARD
DOES NOT REPUDIATE IT, the average investor is going to
assume "X is policy." Why? Because his job is to set
policy.
And his statements are backed up by a) the board not
repudiating it, b) SEC filings, c) Sun pronouncements at
conferences and other events.

The fact that the blog post may not have been covered does
NOT mean it was not an official word - it just makes Sun more
liable for the statements.
