"... If you don't like the facts presented on the sites of established news organizations...." Unfortunately this statement assumes that the established news organizations are interested in finding and presenting the objective truth, which, as we know, is not an accurate assumption at all.
Just a follow-up. I think this statement by Ellison also shows his commitment to his employees -- basically zero. What Ellison doesn't realize is that he did not single-handedly build Oracle. Jobs did not single-handedly build Apple, and Hurd did not single-handedly build HP. They all had a group of dedicated and committed employees that did it. So I feel sorry for Oracle employees -- sorry that your CEO can't see your contributions because his big inflated ego gets in the way.
So what he's saying is that HP shouldn't enforce it's standards of business conduct even when the HP CEO breaks them? Interesting. Hm. Goes to show you the kind of person Ellison is...dollars over integrity. And that's what the problem is with all of society. I'm just glad that HP's board values integrity over the almighty dollar. They have set an example for the rest of the industry. My guess is that no other company but HP has the guts to stand up for it's values and it's integrity. Obviously the Oracle board doesn't, if the "No stranger himself to sexual harassment allegations" statement is to be believed.
...is when is the media going to be held accountable for their blatant and purposeful (or not) reporting mistakes? In my job, if I made a mistake like that, my superiors wouldn't hesitate to terminate....
...any claim about protecting privacy from the one company that has been the direct or indirect cause of so much private data being lost or compromised is really rich. I'd have to think that it's a red herring, really, to divert attention away from the privacy/security problems IE 6/7/8, Windows XP/Vista/7 have already....

Couldn't have put it better myself. Very astute.

...wow. I wasn't aware the press in the UK were as truth-challenged as they are here in the US....
