"...embedded devices... will be driven by Java, according to two recent Oracle-commissioned white papers." lol

  It gets even funnier when they mention 'security considerations' as a major benefit of using Java for said 'intelligent embedded devices', and that Java was 'originally designed and conceived to run in embedded devices [and] was precisely focused on the portability and productivity problems faced by embedded developers'. Last few times I read about widespread cross-platform malware that affected Windows, Linux, OS X and even Android, sometimes all at the same time, these exploits were based on Java security holes :-S

    The security problems came by way of the browser plugin, a different beast entirely.
