Father of Java, James Gosling Unloads

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the java-and-java dept.

javab0y writes "The folks over at basementcoders did a podcast with James Gosling, The Father of Java, last week at a coffee shop in San Francisco during the JavaOne conference. In a raw and no-holds-barred interview, James let loose on Oracle, the Google Lawsuit, and his experience with IBM. You know its going to be good when he starts out saying, 'I eventually graduated in '83. Went to work for IBM which is, you know, is within the top 10 of my stupidest career decisions I've made.' The podcast was fully transcribed."

    Jim's story is truly a right place at the right time moment in life for him. Of course, that moment echoed throughout the world (timing) and Java became the standard.
    It's not like John Kerry's story, were he trained for it, met the right people, had the support and was given his turn to run for president.

    If there is a clear example of abuse of slashdot moderation it is the above post being modded troll. There is no way in hell an honest person can mistake it for trolling. None. Zero. Zip.
