f**king. STOMPED.

Down goes the patent troll.

I think we should arrange a parade to drive past Oracle's headquarters, composed entirely of giant pairs of hands formed into the "flip off" position, with Android robots between them, and blaring "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions" on repeat. :D

Larry shoulda taken the Google settlement offer.... Instead, he went for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And got exactly that - nothing.

I wonder if he still has the appetite to enforce the rest of Oracle's patent portfolio?

Maybe Oracle should have taken that $3 million Google offered them for that patent they didn't infringe on, huh?

Unfortunately, this type of deliberation was more likely than not, subject matter that was so far above the pedestrian intellect of the jury, that they just took the easy route and said not guilty. Oh, and probably each of them have Andriod phones.

FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS FOR ONCE!!! TAKE THAT ORACLE. Everyone is being greedy thinking they can take free money from GOOGLE just because Apple said their copying from their iPHONE.

Don't be EVIL, ORACLE.... Even James Gosling, father of Java left you to Google, all due to YOUR EVIL UN-ETHICAL DEEDS...

Does this mean that Oracle will be for sale soon?

If Sun had no problem (THEY never sued) with what Google did, why should Oracle who BOUGHT Sun? Unless of course they are patent trolling....
I used to have a pretty good opinion of Sun... now they remind me of Apple!! Ugggh!!

There's an article at Ars, an interview with the jury foreman, and he said Oracle never came close to proving patent infringement. At one point, he was the only juror who voted guilty.
