Yeah right. When a bunch of nobodies on Youtube criticize today's crappy software, they are not whiners and bitching geeks, they are serious people, but when they do it from a podium as CEOs of a Fortune 100 company talking to 2000 people they are egomaniacs? That's called achievement fags. STFU. The guy is brilliant. He predicted stuff that exist today or will exist soon, 20 years ago. Get your ass at the same level and then talk.

Larry is a nutter and if you read the book "Difference between Godf and Larry Ellison" you will see why. It's the people Larry hired back in the 80's that really set Oracle up. Sales guys Danny Turano and Mike Seashols. The biggest headcase was Mike Bennett, ad-guy. A morman by faith, Bennett's company slogan was "God Hates Cowards!". Oracle is tame by the standards Larry set in the 80's and 90's.

If you want know Larry well, read Mike Wilson's "Difference Between God and Larry Ellison". He's a nutter of the first order, but the people he hired like sales guy Danny Turano, Mike Seashols and adman Mike Bennett are the cream of headcases. Bennett, a Morman by faith, ad company slogan was "God Hates Cowards!".

Larry Ellison is my hero. With a net worth of well over a 40 billion dollars he is one of the best business persons in the world.

Most people dislike the man. He's about as arrogant as they come. There's someone who calls themselves the ERPWizard that rags on him pretty well. They've posted a couple of pretty funny spoofs on Ellison's buying spree of smaller ERP vendors. You can find them by searching on ERPWizard.

Larry is an egomaniac and a toolbag

Okay, it's June 12 2008 right now. Oracle's stock price will hit 23-24 Dollars by end of July. An easy 8% return on your money in less than two months. If it's past July, and you are reading this. Yes..I'm a smart savvy Investor
