Can you elaborate why? Edit: reading others’ posts about him in this thread. Okay, wow. Not sure how accurate this information is though.

- ElijahLynn 8y agoWell, one thing that got me about him was his acquisition of Sun Microsystems to acquire the patents on Java to sue Google for Android. Which Sun didn't have any issue with Google about the use of Java for Android. But Larry did. He saw $$$. Maybe I am wrong about the above but that is my impression of what I have read. Open to corrections.
- cdkee 8y agoSun had the hardware that Larry wanted for his engineered systems. Prior to that there was an announced partnership with HP for that. The Google lawsuit came later. Remember the purchase was in 2009, when Android was still in its early days in terms of adoption and market share.
- ElijahLynn 8y agoThanks, so it was more of a "oh, look at what we have here" type of thing it sounds like.
- Jarbooski 8y agoHey look, it's the idiot who hates all "dealers". Turns out he's clueless about cars and also has never heard of Larry Ellison.
