If I understand correctly (and IANAL), Rule 50b is a rule that says that the
losing party automatically can file a motion (called a Rule 50b motion, natch)
to point out to the judge all the things they think he missed, and to ask him to
therefore change his mind.
Oracle is almost certainly right that there is going to be a Rule 50b motion,
since they're the ones who would file it. The judge is rolling his eyes because
he knows how little Oracle has, and he's appalled at having to waste yet more
time on this turkey of a case.

Short answer - yes. This is how rule 50b differs from rule
50. It's
post-verdict and/or post-final-judgement:
(b) Renewing the Motion
After Trial; Alternative
Motion for a New Trial. If the court does not grant a
motion
for judgment as a matter of law made under Rule 50(a), the
court is
considered to have submitted the action to the jury
subject to the court's
later deciding the legal questions
raised by the motion. No later than 28 days
after the entry
of judgment—or if the motion addresses a jury issue not
decided by a verdict, no later than 28 days after the jury
was discharged—the
movant may file a renewed motion for
judgment as a matter of law and may
include an alternative
or joint request for a new trial under Rule 59. In
ruling on
the renewed motion, the court may:
(1) allow judgment on the
verdict, if the jury returned a
verdict;
(2) order a new trial; or
(3) direct
the entry of judgment as a matter of law.
