3/9 Larry Ellison to drop from the top 10 billionaire list. Hahahaha.
That sucker deserves to go to hell. Fuck you Debacle.
\_ Yeah, I'm sure he losses sleep over it. BTW, how many billions
do you have? Oh, zero?
\_ Yes he's losing sleep over it. I used to work at Debacle and
my boss knew the VPs who knew Larry. Unlike Andy Grove and
HP founders, Larry is an asshole who doesn't care about anyone
else except himself, and everyone at the company knows that.
All that talk with "Oracle's world's 2nd largest software
company" is just bullshit and annoying to hear every single
day. Back during the dot-com days Larry tried numerous
spin-offs on nicely packaged but horribly designed software
in an attempt to diversify his 1 trick pony, and ultimately to
generate more revenues not for the company, but for himself.
During media interviews Larry even admitted that his goal was
not to create AIDS foundations or help with famines and such.
His goal in life was to become a samurai and to beat Bill
Gates so that he could become the world's richest man. In my
< decade of working there I NEVER saw him working, once, and
neither did my bosses. He loved yachting, flying planes, or just
fucking Japanese whores. Larry losing sleep over not being on
the top 10 billionaire list? You bet he is.

If Bill Gates is the tech world's nerd king, Ellison is its Warren Beatty: racing yachts, buying jets, and romancing beautiful women. His rise to fame and fortune is a tale of entrepreneurial brilliance, ruthless tactics, and a constant stream of half-truths and outright fabrications for which the man and his company are notorious. Investigative reporter Mike Wilson, with access to Ellison himself and more than 125 of his friends, enemies, and former Oracle employees, has created an eye-opening, utterly fascinating portrayal of a Silicon Valley success story ... filled with the stuff that dreams and cultural icons are made of. Petersburg Times and the author of the acclaimed Right on the Edge of Crazy: On Tour with the US Ski Team.
