If there's one company you can always count on to do the wrong thing, it's Oracle.

  Bryan Cantrill gave the most wonderful rant on Oracle/Ellison at LISA XXV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc (rant starts at 33:00) Two gems from the rant are, "You actually don't need to be open-minded about Oracle," and "Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower."

    That was great. Moreover, it gave me an idea. Oracle has been going after Android in patent suits. Joyent had patents on Solaris-based technology for cloud-style stuff Oracle might be interested in. Joyent was acquired by Samsung, a major Android vendor. I wonder if part of Samsung's motivation was countering Oracle with the I.P. Joyent had.
