NEWS Sun Microsystems has taken another step closer to its idea of a Java-enabled home, by announcing a partnership with Sun Hung Kai Properties in Japan to launch a Java based news and entertainment site. Called SuperHome.net, it will be piloted at East Point Property in Tseung Kwan O and then expanded to other residential estates.
