Question

Deprecated, some might call me,

Or something you no longer need to know,

But they're all wrong, I must just not

Be quite their Cup 'O Joe!

My children feel insulted,

They yell out "I object!" with a snarl,

I wish I could do something

But my problems have always been terminal.

And that is why I soon may die-

there is hope, however, you see,

For I may soon be working for

Another big, huge company!

Edit: removed typo (big was bg)

What am I?

What am I?

I am going to go with

Sun Microsystems and/or Java programming language...

Cup O Joe would be Coffee...which is Java...And some people (particularly microsoft/C# developers don't like Java and think it's old and out of date...but it's actually still one of the biggest (I think it still is the most used) languages

Sun is looking to be bought by another company, and right now they are looking at IBM to purchase them...so that would be a much bigger company...

WOW, the one time I post an obscure riddle I run into a Sun junkie...Well done! I think I'm going to steal your avatar, given that I need one.

Here's my explanation:

Deprecated, some might call me,Some people believe that Java has become outdated

Or something you no longer need to know,

But they're all wrong, I must just not

Be quite their Cup 'O Joe!Cup O' Joe = Coffee = Java

My children feel insulted,

They yell out "I object!" with a snarl,This was clever...Java is Object-Oriented (look it up, I won't explain), and its children (classes/programs) are called objects. Since they're children, they have bad grammar, and, thus, yell "I object!" instead of "I am an object!"

I wish I could do something

But my problems have always been terminal.Java is usually run in an applet or a Terminal window, the latter of which is the only one which reports problems (errors)

And that is why I soon may die-

there is hope, however, you see,

For I may soon be working for

Another big, huge company!Rumors that IBM wants to buy Sun for complete Unix domination.
