I realize people like to hate on Oracle, and some hate justified, but there's also a reason why Oracle is one of the extremely few tech companies that have survived the test of time.

Gosling is complaining about about pay and management oversight.

Has anyone wonder if overpay and no oversight is what contributed to Sun's failure.

Speaking as an insider, I can say with 100% certainty it was.

Sun had this hardware business that was printing money and then the music stopped.

I wonder if Google might suffer a similar fate like Sun. As soon as ad-revenue slows down, will they need to grow up and be managed like a real company by putting restrictions on pay and enforce management oversight.
