Oracle said this week that it's building a cloud service to host many of its key software products, including Java, database, middleware and CRM. As if anticipating concerns that the aptly named Oracle Public Cloud might be another vehicle for locking customers into Oracle software, though, CEO Larry Ellison tore into rival Salesforce.com, claiming Oracle will differentiate itself with industry ...
Oracle's damage claim against Google in it's battle over Java patents keeps inching downwards, but not nearly quick enough to please either Big G or Judge William Alsup. The Redwood Shores-based company initially sought $6.1 billion, but eventually lowered that to $2.6 billion. The judge responded by suggesting a far more modest $100 million starting point for a settlement and sent Oracle back ...
sproketboy writes "It seems Oracle has decided in their infinite wisdom to remove digital signatures from the Java projects that they put into the open source community. Of course this breaks any application out there depending on Java Webstart using these libs. Looks like Java3D and JAI are currently affected — probably other APIs are as well. Oh Oracle! What are we supposed to do with you?&...

have to create a @Before method in each test just to get the test

Looks like Brian Goetz and the JDK just made a major syntax decision for closures (lambdas) in Java 8:
It’s been over a year since we first reported that Oracle was looking into a suit against Google for its perceived infringement of their Java code , and we’ve finally come to a point where it appears that both parties are willing to reach, maybe, perhaps, a settlement. This settlement may well come in this newest announced move for a mediation meeting between representatives from Google and rep...

The Apache Foundation. Oh, the irony. This is the same Apache Foundation that resigned from the Java Community Process executive committee in protest after Oracle repeatedly refused to give it access to the Java Techno...

The war between Google and Oracle is far from over, but the big G keeps racking up tiny victories in what are admittedly modest battles. Now the Redwood Shores-based company has been told to go back to the drawing board with its damages report. Originally Oracle sought $2.6 billion, but its theories were largely dismissed and Judge William Alsup suggested an alternative starting point of rough...
It’s with a heavy heart that I am now going to post a huge long self-aggrandising post about my departure from Google, and force you all to wade through endless trite observations and so called insights about the inner workings of Google. You may then go forth and share these turd nuggets of wisdom with all your friends, thereby making me feel even more important than I already do, which is the pr...
