Jonathan Schwartz' office gets upgraded to an EcoBox
April Fools at Sun Microsystems brings out the worst (or best) in the firm's creativity. This year chief executive Jonathan Schwartz and CTO Greg Papadopoulos saw their offices upgrade to an EcoBox, a refurbished shipping container with a loft bed, solar powered Sun Ray thin clients and a portable patio set.
The EcoBox, so said the prankster's press release, has been specially designed for the "C" level executive.
"Project EcoBox taps into natural sunlight as a free source of light while its solar panels provide sufficient power for the mission-critical hot tub, executive office technology, as well as the revolutionary new Wolf® 30" Double Easy-Bake[tm] convection oven announced earlier today. It can be easily transported using common shipping methods, and can withstand natural disasters including earthquakes, tornadoes, and executive tirades.

Strong but slender, EcoBox shipping containers can be wedged into small plots and stacked up to 9 units high — sufficient to not only move executive management out of the building, but middle management as well!
The project is a pun on Sun Microsystems' Project Blackbox and its eco projects. First unveiled last year, Black Box uses a standard shipping container to house a data center. Sun targets the systems at firm's with rapidly rising demands for CPU power.
