I tried running some new fangled webgl demo on an old chevy pickup truck I have in the backyard. It didn't work there either, it just kind of sputtered and emitted white smoke.
1) It has the largest developer base 2) It's popular and widely used in academia 3) It's designed to be cross platform 4) There were (almost) mature open source implementation and other tech available 5) Sun was weak at the time, they wouldn't have been able to sustain much of a lawsuit against Google if they wanted to
I suspect if Google had chosen Mono instead of Java, Microsoft would have sued the fuck out of Google exactly like Oracle did. Hell, Microsoft is shaking down Android OEMs over FAT patents.
So that mistrust was not wrong, Oracle and Microsoft both suck and their product offerings reflect that.

WHO IS this new ultra talented Rick Astley guy?
Since it's sound proof (and hopefully sealed air tight) lets just lock them inside and call it a day.
We'll end up with iRing vs Gingle+ and the whole thing will be bananas.

It's totally rad!@#XCCVZ...........
NO CARRIER
It's probably more like "Lets make a group of my friends BILLIONAIRES!"
But I like sucking Gdick :(
So you hate Google+ and because of that, Google is the biggest hypocrite in the tech world ever?
Hey asshole, we pay you good money to astroturf Slashdot.
Include the fucking scroogled tag line next time or you're fucking fired!
Unfortunately, it looks like Target and Michaels went with ISA compliance testing instead :(
I hear that since Ballmer has been given the boot he's switched back to barrels again.
Wait a minute, maybe these self driving cars aren't so self driving after all!?
Everyone, to the pitch forks!
In the US, most banks have free checking accounts. Why don't these people just use a bank?
They apparently have a burning platform, this sounds like a job for an Elop!
But in all seriousness, we need Elop installed CEO of Microsoft to help ensure their rapid demise.
You will pay for your insolence, heathen! The Gore shall smite thy green buck carbon creditas until none are left!
Burn the heretic, the denier!
This.

No, this is worse than integrated. These use AMD drivers.
I think Google chose Java for Android because:
1) It has the largest developer base
2) It's popular and widely used in academia
3) It's designed to be cross platform
4) There were (almost) mature open source implementation and other tech available
5) Sun was weak at the time, they wouldn't have been able to sustain much of a lawsuit against Google if they wanted to

Next thing you know, they're going to be bundling adware with Java and suing open source projects.
They know that and they don't care.
They are trying to use their desktop monopoly to muscle into the mobile space (and have failed hilariously).
Yay Credit Cards! We don't have to worry about getting screwed over because they protect us while they screw us! So we're used to it!
I feel so loved.
Kneppe Ja!
Captured Al-Qaida operatives probably look at him and go "Whew, I'm glad I'm not THAT guy!"
Blame Canada!
