Exactly, they showed their true colors in the way that they handled the WikiLeaks affair / pressure from the government. Thanks, but NO THANKS Amazon!

"One woman said Assange ignored her appeals to stop when the condom broke." This is outrageously subjective, clearly her word against his no? And that is probably the point, because that is a very difficult position to defend and the subjective judgement of a judge (who will most probably be under *extreme* pressure). I'm not too worried, WikiLeaks is not just Assange, there are others who will continue his work. He is merely the head and obviously some agents are very quick to try and chop it.

I think this is similar to what James Cameron did for the (bad) movie called Avatar.

"The world continues to chase apple -- probably for the better." That's just flame bait, I wouldn't have glimpsed twice on this article had there been no such phrase... Yet, here I am now, reading the article, posting and trying to come up with something that will tease Apple fanbois, for the heck of it. This is why I come here every day ;)

Miguel was very quick indeed to try to spread FUD and capitalize on the uncertainty that Oracle brought to Java, e.g. see: http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2010/Oct-26.html I wonder how is this going to impact his disposition. Let me guess, it's still better than Java right?

What are the implications to Mono from this sale? Is this an Oracle/Java situation, or is it worse?
