He is a handsome guy, and right usually, oh yes, I'm straight. Snap. I agree too, I hope Larry grows some wisdom instead of the usual hair he sports. It's bad enough Oracle owns Java already, it should have been IBM IMHO.

IBM owning Java would have been even worse.

Maybe, maybe not but they are heavy users of Java, it seems to me like it would have been a good fit.

Google should've owned Java. They use it extensively at Google and they also could've had total control over the language for Android. They could've just sold off the other parts of Sun later. Oh well, maybe Oracle wants to sell it now since they realized they can't make billions off it.

With the excellent work they did with GWT you would think so.

Actually Oracle has done a lot with Java too but this latest thing just wow, at least the courts came out with a logical decision.
