Who is deciding the fate of programming languages?

Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, May 04 2012 @ 06:01 PM EDT

<a href="http://arstechnica.com/tech-
policy/news/2012/04/oracle-tells-jury-you-cant-just-step-on-
somebodys-intellectual-property.ars">More about the jury
here.</a>

<blockquote>
At one point, prospective jurors were asked what kind of
cell phones they used. About half raised their hand to
indicate they use smartphones, while the other half had
feature phones. Only one of the jurors (who is on the final
panel) uses an Android phone.

The jury as finally selected is seven women and five men
with a range of backgrounds. The panel includes a retired
photographer, a woman who works for The Gap, a secretary
with the EPA, an SF Muni bus driver, a plumber, a financial
adviser, and a letter carrier for the Postal Service.
</blockquote>

Only one has an Android phone. I am guessing the others have
iphones.(Hopefully without the typical fanboy anti-google
prejudice. :/)
