“Oracle amended its Java complaint against Google over Android patent infringement and provided line-by-line comparisons in its exhibits,” Larry Dignan reports for ZDNet.
“In its tweaked complaint, Oracle ups the ante against Google, who has called the lawsuit baseless,” Dignan reports. “Oracle, which first sued Google over Android in August, said: In at least several instances, Android computer program code also was directly copied from copyrighted Oracle America code. For example, as may be readily seen in Exhibit J, the source code in Android’s “PolicyNodeImpl.java” class is nearly identical to “PolicyNodeImpl.java” in Oracle America’s Java, not just in name, but in the source code on a line-for-line basis.“
Dignan reports, “Indeed, if you look at those exhibits the lines of code are identical.”

The question isn’t if Google is guilty, but what the settlement will be. Loads of cash or banishment of Android?

But it does make you wonder what else those Google webcrawlers can grab. Wail… oh no my keys!

Ever since Oracle bought Sun they are picking it apart and sucking every bone like some starved creature.
The people behind OpenOffice have left and formed LibreOffice.
Now Oracle is going after Google over some minor code copying.
It’s obvious Oracle is stomping on any bit of “open” it can and in the process, making enemies much like Microsoft has.
That’s bad business, borne of a company who will soon learn to regret their decision.

You watch, suddenly all OpenOffice and Java users will get a pop-up and a 30 day notice to buy the software or it will cease to exist on their machine.
Soon as LibreOffice is on it’s feet, out of beta…switch.
The file format should be fine.

New Flash exploit(s) in the wild, for Mac’s, Linux and Windows PC’s.
Shake, shudder and cower.
You know you should have Firefox with NoScript, BetterPrivacy, Ad Block Plus and Ghostery installed, but you just too scared.
It’s ok, Safari with private browsing and Click to Flash, Ghostery and AdBlock Plus plug-ins (under the Safari menu) will keep you safe too.
Just Safari is so depressingly grey…and the choice of plug-ins so minuscule compared to Firefox.
