Link : 11 Reasons Why Oracle Solaris 11 11/11 Isn't Being Released on 11/11/11

So here's why we didn't go with that date.  (Two of these are actually the real reasons.)

1. Whoa -- we never thought of that!
2. We just couldn't wait.
3. Friday -- not a good day for a product launch.
4. Armistice Day/Remembrance Day/Veterans Day -- not a good day for a product launch.
5. Sony Pictures begged us not to release on the same day as the new Adam Sandler movie.
6. We figured the launch parties would keep going for three days.
7. Dysnumeria.  (This does not appear to be an actual word.)
8. Hoping to ride the coattails of the commemorations of Louis the Bavarian's defeat of his cousin Frederick I of Austria at the Battle of Gamelsdorf in 1313.
9. "11" is actually 9--in octal.  OK, that one's exceptionally weak.
10. November 9 is Inventors' Day!  (Which is held on this day because it's the birthday of actress Hedy Lamarr, who invented frequency-hopping spread spectrum signalling in 1942.  I am not making this up.)
11. "No... that's just what they'll be expecting us to do."
