U.S. Attempts to Block Oracle Bid for PeopleSoft

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the ongoing-takeover-sagas dept.

AliasF97 writes "Thought you all might be interested in this story about the U.S. government attempting to block Oracle's bid for PeopleSoft via a civil anti-trust lawsuit. Seems to me that the courts are going to have their work cut out for them on this one. Also, the photo of Ellison is kind of comical. If you were to throw a black cape and a tall hat on him, he could be a circus magician."

    Actually, I think if you'd put an ermine-trimmed hat on him, he'd look like Super Fly or 70s pimp.

    Also, the photo of Ellison is kind of comical. If you were to throw a black cape and a tall hat on him, he could be a circus magician.

    After recent court action regarding a distro from France, would it be legal for us to say he might be compared to M@ndr@ke the Magician in appearance?
