I guess we'll never know for sure if Steve Jobs egged on his buddy Larry Ellison to throw this sucker punch at Android but given his apoplectic reaction to Android it sure seems likely.
- lazugod 14y agoWhy wouldn't we know? Ellison is still alive.
- chris_wot 14y agoAnd most unlikely to admit he was "egged on" by anyone!
- reddit_clone 14y agoEspecially after the egg-on-the-face verdict.
- lifeisstillgood 14y agoI don't believe that's how these things work. Power player A meets power player B, they discuss what they hope to do in the near future - plans and interests. Perhaps they will have matters of mutual interest - thats great. Then they seperately take action, happy to know what positions and interests the other players in the game have. Apple and Oracle were both threatened by Android. No-one needed egging on, no-one needed secret deals. They were open and above board about wanting to screw over Larry and Sergey. :-)
- jlgreco 14y agoI never understood why Android's Dalek would be threatening to Oracle.
- Tyrannosaurs 14y agoYou seriously think that Ellison got where he got by being easily swayed, even by the likes of Jobs?
