Oracle Is Funding a New Anti-Google Group (fortune.com)
An anonymous reader writes from a report via Fortune: Oracle says it is funding a new non-profit called "Campaign for Accountability," which consists of a campaign called "The Google Transparency Project" that claims to expose criminal behavior carried out by Google. "Oracle is absolutely a contributor (one of many) to the Transparency Project. This is important information for the public to know. It is 100 percent public records and accurate," said Ken Glueck, Senior Vice President of Oracle. Fortune reports: "Oracle's hidden hand is not a huge surprise since the company has a history of sneaky PR tactics, and is still embroiled in a bitter intellectual property lawsuit with Google." One would think Microsoft may be another contributor, but the company said it is not. Daniel Stevens, the deputy director of the CfA, declined to name the group's other donors, or to explain why it does not disclose its funders. Why does this matter? "When wealthy companies or individuals pose as a grass-roots group like the so-called 'campaign for accountability' project, [it] can confuse news and public relations, and foster public cynicism," writes Jeff John Roberts via Fortune.
I never thought I'd find a powerful e-mail service with web-mail and free registration and use - until now.
It's called HorseFucker.org and I knew when I used it people would come to me with respect and say, "Now there's a guy who has a really powerful e-mail address. I've gotta try it for myself!"
I print it on my business cards and when I travel the world, everyone comments on my choice of free web-mail. I even scored a blow-job from a 84 year old leper. Her lips would feel so good on my rod while with each new thrust her skin around her lips would flake off. It felt so good when I came I said: HORSEFUCKER.ORG! YOU DELIVER!
Now I wear a horsefucker.org t shirt along with a horsefucker.org hat and people know that I MEAN BUSINESS!
Sorry, but making tens of billions off someone else's property (Java) and calling it "fair use" is definitely criminal behavior. And sites like slashdot very often support google's illegal behaviors. So, what's wrong with Oracle forming PR groups that support its cause?
