Oh come on. What about Sun "The network is the computer" Microsystems? What about Java, originally designed for a settop box, as described, way before 1995? Although I tend to credit Sun with the idea, the concept was in the air. There's even a book (fiction) about it, "The first 20 million is the hardest". I guess Sun can't buy ad space in Wired anymore... Oracle can. BTW one page: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2009/12/fail_oracle/all/1 http://www.wired.com/magazine/2009/12/fail_oracle/all/1
