And who is NOT on the list
Yahoo! Wanted to the be most insidious of them all. Lost footing. Getting very desperate. Has now agreed to replace ask.com as the search hijack when you install Java. (Protip: don't install Java) Accenture Easily number one on the list, but I refuse to view them as a tech company, just a pack of greedheads who will be first against the wall etc. Sony How the mighty have fallen, they were very insidious but now they're powerless and a joke The Rest Of Japan What went wrong? |

I dunno about Samsung.
They recently developed an "invisible truck", which I think is pretty cool, until someone hacks it to display obscene messages or porn. |

Oracle makes its money by selling big complicated software to big complicated companies. Now it's trying to preserve the ability to do that, at all costs. Part of that seems to be buying and then mismanaging other technologies. They are the ones putting malware in Java.

Java sucks and I need it to do my payroll sheet at work to get paid. It's really frustrating because they seem to update it every two months, and I gave to take 10 minutes each time to update it. But I only notice when I'm late getting.y time sheet done and I'm in a rush.

Quote:
Oracle makes the integrated software necessary to operate a major buisness. Its nearest competition is SAP. You don't have to like their business practices to appreciate one thing. The product (although extremely complicated) works. Is essential for many businesses to operate productively. Few other products exist that can do what Oracle does because very few companies had a man that ruthless to focus on that market. One can argue that as Ellison aged, he mellowed. Being a top executive too long may have resulted in some less robust innovation in the past decade. |
