It’s hip2b2

Migs Paraz just pointed out something really silly just a while ago. He told me to check out http://ringtones.java.com/. Ok, aside from the fact that I find it weird to have Java.com carrying ringtones, the site is NOT even running on Java but PHP:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

What is Sun up to using the Java brand to sell ringtones? To add insult to injury it also uses PHP instead of Java. Also I notice that the cookie has the zingy.com domain on it. Does this mean that Sun is re-selling content from Zingy too? What the heck?
