Java Creator James Gosling Hired At Google

jfruhlinger writes "Some months after leaving Oracle in a huff, father of Java James Gosling has joined Google. It's not clear what his job responsibilities will be there, but given some of his past statements about Google projects — that Android has no adult supervision, for instance — it will be interesting to see what develops."

Of course he'll ignore it. It's a common troll lately posting only positive things on Microsoft articles and negative things on anything Google. He's resorted to creating new accounts and posting first post on these articles and dumping the account afterward:

Here are some of the common accounts... I know there are more than just this though:

Bullshit Moderation

[causality]

I don't know right now exactly what tech Microsoft has patented, but it's not in their best interest right now to destroy Mono.

Yeah, not right now. It's truly best for them to wait until their competitor is using it, then strike out with the patents. ;)

That's amusing that this is modded down to Flamebait. The truth isn't flamebait even if you are unable to handle it like a mature adult.

Judging from all of the shillish posts in this discussion and related previous discussions, it's reasonable to wonder if these mods which are idiotic, absurd, yet serve the purpose of shills are coming from various sockpuppet accounts. If so, the shills are not nearly as smooth and unnoticable as they'd like to think. In fact they're amazingly amatuerish and their actions reflect a certain desperation to please their masters.

Give it up, already. Few corporations have so soundly earned a bad reputation as Microsoft has done. Hiring a bunch of cowardly liars who treat us like we're stupid only makes them look worse.
