    Well honestly the first few versions of Android weren't great.

    Yeah because why only have a legal battle with one evil software compnay, when you could battle two at the same time! Just to show off how much of a silicon badass you are.

    I have bought them and Oracle products suck. For developers and end users.

  11. Re:Cry me a river on Oracle: Google Has "Destroyed" the Market For Java · · Score: 2

    Uh most of the world's business and web software ran on Java when Oracle bought Sun.

    It was a huge reason why Oracle bought Sun in the first place, gave them some leverage over IBM, Google and other companies.

    Oracle's products are extremely poor.

    Microsoft licensed the Java platform and trademark and then intentionally built an incompatible implementation, put the Java logo on it and claimed compatibility.

    Android has never claimed to be a compliant Java platform, it merely lets you use the Java programming language and GNU's standard java library (gcj & libjava) to build apps for Android.

    The problem with J2ME is that it's awful.

    It's always been awful, I've always dreaded using apps on pre iOS/Android phones.

  15. Re:Innovate, not litigate on Oracle: Google Has "Destroyed" the Market For Java · · Score: 1

    That's an interesting idea.

    Could Bell Labs and Bjarne Stroupstroup take Oracle to court for using C/C++ without a copyright license in their products? Perhaps they use an implemention from a vendor that isn't the original one and thus don't have a license from the original author.

    Think of the Billion$ they could make at Oracle's expense!

  16. Fuck Oracle on Oracle: Google Has "Destroyed" the Market For Java · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Java was never useful on phones until Google built something decent.

    Sun/Oracle could never build a decent phone with Java, no matter how much money they pumped into it.

    If you work somewhere that uses Oracle products or is considering an Oracle product, fight to the bone to get their shitware tossed out.

    We need to end this company, it's a tumor in the software ecosystem.

    Why not just get a flip phone instead?

    It's "just a phone" and will last a week or more without charging.

    I wouldn't be surprised if flip phones outsell Windows Phone 10 by a significant margin.
