British bank cuts 4,500 IT jobs

Wow

Looks like in the future we will all be fighting to get into India for a job hehehehe. Hope they don't put a cap on immigration levels!

Ellison winds up rivals with stack-in-a-box vision

I highly doubt it.

Oracle-ite here. I very much doubt the success of this plan. This plan requires that you have the best of breed technology *and* people to keep them best of breed. As it stands all the innovators and leaders from many of the acquisitions have left the company. Leaving behind the same people that developed Oracle's original substandard offerings. Dozens of anonymous developers who will never be named outside of the company.

Anybody tried using JDeveloper 11g lately?

Anybody tried creating a form in ADF?

Probably not because you would need an exalogic sized machine to run what amounts to an IDE and a web framework. What I find ridiculous about these areas is that the market solved these problems years ago but Oracle still hasn't got them right. What will make this suddenly change with their walled garden approach?

Apple makes great products.

Good luck to you Larry.
