Oracle is Drowning, Clutching at Straws in Oracle v Google at Robert Pogson

“Because PackageManagerService.java and Installer.java classes are written in the Java programming language, both classes are compiled to
virtual machine instructions for execution. Therefore, the entire dexopt process occurs during the execution of the virtual machine instructions of these two classes. The proposed additions to the ICs merely identify that these specific virtual machine instructions are executing when dexopt
performs the generating step by calling the functions in DexOptimize.c, including optimizeClass(), optimizeMethod(), and rewriteExecuteInlineRange().”

Oracle is having to dig deeply to find any leverage on Google’s Android/Linux to find any possibilty of a valid claim in Oracle v Google. They now beg the court to amend its claims to include greater specificity in how, exactly, they believe Google violates their patents. This fuss is being made over a patent that the USPTO has already found wanting and issued a “final rejection”…

How the mighty art fallen. From demanding $6billion in “damages” from Google they now are begging to be let into the only lifeboat in sight.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
