Waste of time
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, July 14 2012 @ 02:35 AM EDT
I'm glad the judge didn't bother writing much of anything in denying that
motion. I feel sorry right now that I wasted any time reading the same old
arguments they already lost on in court.

It would be nice if all judges could write quick little orders like that so that
we
could get to their inevitable Supreme Court appeal and get back the cert. denied

one would expect for an appeal like that.

Sour Grapes
Authored by: sproggit on Saturday, July 14 2012 @ 04:27 AM EDT
Having followed this case with interest and read most, if not all of the briefs

submitted by both sides, this one stands out for a rather unexpected
reason. Perhaps I am mis-reading it, or seeing something g that actually is
not here, but for me this positively reeks of sour grapes.

If a film is ever made of this sorry tale, this can be portrayed in a scene
before the judge:

"They copied our stuff!"

"Did not..."

"Did too!"

Etc, etc

And whilst the Court's language in the denial of the motion is rather terse, I
can imagine it being a case of

"You had your day in court. You lost. Get over it."

The question for Oracle may now become one of saving face. Oracle's
purchase of Sun Microsystems has largely been a commercial disaster.
The lawsuit against Google may well have been an attempt at misdirection,
offering the argument that the purchase of Sun would have been far more
lucrative if only Google had not written Android...

Sadly for Oracle, the purchase of Sun was not commercially positive, and
the follow-up decision to sue Google was throwing good money after bad.

Oracle will almost certainly appeal this decision, perhaps not because they
expect to have it overturned but more because they hope to appease
shareholders who may well otherwise punish Mr Ellinson and the board.
This looks more and more like a grand folly.

A quick haiku
Authored by: Steve Martin on Saturday, July 14 2012 @ 07:11 AM EDT
Nothing new was shown.
So my other rulings stand.
Motion is denied.

There'll be an appeal
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, July 15 2012 @ 02:53 PM EDT

I'd be willing to bet on it. Oracle isn't going to be happy with this. Therefore

they'll appeal.

And waste a bunch more money.

Appeals clock?
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, July 16 2012 @ 12:55 PM EDT
Does this start the appeals clock ticking? How long does Oracle have to file
their appeal?
