![]() Much of it seems geared toward the enterprise market. KVM isn’t bad, I just have no idea how to use it, and the how-tos aren’t great for people like me, who just want to play with other operating systems. I’ve been frustrated with VirtualBox’s open-core-ness (no support for USB devices in OSE, for one thing) and slowish development, which has made KVM (much harder to use) and VMware (non-free) gain a notable amount of what it could have had. ![]() it seems rather harsh to just punish the entire Java community because Oracle is being a di is suing Google. See, putting unicorns in the text, takes away the unicorns from it. I’m just saying, if you’ll allow me a small pun, some of his stories just don’t have enough rainbow farting unicorns. We’ve all seen how empty it was while he was on the internship. Thom often makes some very insightful points in his stories and he does most of the work around here. (Frankly, I have no idea who she is.) The point is that I don’t care who she is and if I did, I would most certainly not look for clues to her awesomeness on a tech news site and I definitely do not care about the editors personal preferences.įinally, I would like this comment to be understood as a constructive criticism. It does not matter whether I think Fiona is awesome or not. See, that’s exactly the kind of thing I don’t like about Thom’s writing. Well, this is about as surprising as Fiona Apple being awesome in every possible way. On top of that, if I were at Google, I wouldn’t want to participate in an event to promote the technology of a competitor who’s suing you.Īs detailed at JavaWorld, this news could hurt the Java community more than it hurts Oracle, but alas, I find Google’s decision completely understandable. Oracle probably isn’t too keen on having Google around at JavaOne, and at the same time, Google’s lawyers aren’t either. I would say it’s a combination of all three. “I’d like Google to speak clearly,” he begins, “Instead of saying ‘We can’t participate at JavaOne 2010’, I’d like to read: a) Oracle is practically preventing us from speaking – b) Our lawyers told us that it would be risky for the corporate if we speak – c) We’re boycotting JavaOne.” ![]() Java developer Fabrizio Giudici poses that Google could be doing this for any combination of the following three reasons. So, what is this? Sure, the lawsuit is the reason, but does that justify pulling out of the conference altogether? I mean, Java – and JavaOne – is larger than just Oracle itself, and it seems rather harsh to just punish the entire Java community because Oracle is being a di is suing Google. “We’re sad to announce that we won’t be able to present at JavaOne this year,” Bloch writes, “We wish that we could, but Oracle’s recent lawsuit against Google and open source has made it impossible for us to freely share our thoughts about the future of Java and open source generally.” Google’s withdrawal doesn’t surprise me considering Oracle’s lawsuit. Google has participated in JavaOne every year since 2004, and the person announcing the company’s withdrawal, Joshua Bloch, from Google’s Open Source Programs Office, has spoken at all JavaOne conferences, except for the first one held in 1996. The cited reason? Oracle suing Google over Android’s use of Java, of course. Google has announced that it has withdrawn itself from JavaOne, an annual conference on, well, Java. ![]()
