Bill Gates is the pope of the personal computer industry. He decides who's going to build.
We've announced an Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance, a bunch of low-cost commodity servers running Linux, integrated in our case, with InfiniBand - connected with InfiniBand vs. the traditional Ethernet.
What Microsoft is doing is patently illegal. Think about it. If you want to build computers, you've got to ask Bill's permission, ... If Bill wanted to triple the price on Windows, what would you do? You'd pay; you wouldn't have any choice.
Its all wrong, ... Lots of little computers are a terrible idea, you can't see the big picture because it's been you know, sliced and diced and it's stored in so many different locations. We've fragmented this information. It's impossible to know what's going on.

Oracle's latest database, version 12c, was specifically designed for the cloud. Oracle 12c makes all your Oracle applications multitenant applications without you having to make any changes whatsoever to your applications.
The social network is the paradigm of the modern service application.
Be careful about virtual relationships with artificially intelligent pieces of software.
One of the great things about Lanai is that the weather is always fabulous. Always 82 degrees and sunny. The problem is that, like California now, Lanai needs more water.
