A year after Sun Microsystem was eaten by the always hungry corporate big brother called Oracle, nothing but crap spills from them, blackening the legacy of Sun.

We do not need much more elaboration to know the numerous bad karma done by Oracle.

These are but a few examples of the aftermath of Oracle not being able to properly handle Java and also Sun that it recently acquired.

 

Oracle's losing it !!!

The Corrupted Evil Oracle

We have all known that nothing goes well when Oracle literally 'eats up' Sun. Most of us who were pretty much happier with Sun have seen our predictions come true ... which is when Oracle takes over, we are in for HELL. It's literal and it's real.


Firstly, Oracle kills off innovative Sun initiated projects, refuses to support OpenSolaris, puts a price tag on MS Office plugin for ODF format (making people pay to use ODF format on MS Office) and now Oracle attacks Google because of the Dalvik VM for Android (Read: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/08/oracle-sues-google-over-use-of-java-in-android-sdk.ars) . 


Isn't Oracle gonna promote the use of Java rather then hinder it's growth ?


Good thing James Gosling quit and escape this evil menacing company called Oracle when Oracle decides to eat up Sun.


Everything when really bad when Oracle ate Sun up. Ouch and it hurts !!!


MySQL database's future is even more unstable because of these hurtful moves Oracle have done.


Oracle's moves have once again further reduced developers confidence that Oracle could take over Sun's legacy and protect us, but Oracle is doing the opposite, reducing our confidence and 'attacking' us.


I, as a Java developer, felt that this step Oracle has done to take on the Dalvik VM is one of the fatal blows to my confidence of Oracle. I am pretty convinced all these years of Sun's legacy would be lost forever by Oracle's sins.


Oracle only cares for itself rather then the communities of developers.


I think it's a little late for Sun to regret handing over their front door keys and trust that Oracle would continue to be nice and not evil. Oracle have betrayed these sacred trusts and ruined the good name Sun once built.


SHAME ON YOU ORACLE.

Oracle... you let Sun down !!!

There are more things I can add on that I am very sure Sun wouldn't want it to happen when they sold themselves to Oracle. 

Oracle... you are letting Sun down !!!

Sun's vision of open source is being destroyed by you. People who once supported Sun because of their moving to openness is destroyed because of you! If you (Oracle) continue to go on down this road...it would only simply isolate you.

Sun released the MS Office ODF plugins free in hopes that more people would embrace the ODF format and promote it. Oracle... you twisted it and by doing so... you are destroying Sun's visions. Think very carefully before you act, Oracle.

PasswordStore

I have attempted to create a password manager and this project, PasswordStore, is a casual password manager software project.

Look out for the latest release at: http://cid-5dddb088a8f2c7bc.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Public%20Folder/PasswordStore

You would notice that the file numbers are by dates e.g. 11102009 which means 11th October 2009. It goes by DDMMYYYY format. In it, it might contain release numbers since I may make multiple releases per day.

How do you run them ? Unzip them and just double click on the 'PasswordStore.jar' file and it would run for most system with Sun Java JVM installed (Java 1.6 required !).
