Last week's launch of Google Drive, a cloud-based platform offering 5GB of free storage, may have been big news, but perhaps bigger was the simultaneous launch of an associated Drive API and several Drive-enabled apps in the Chrome Web Store. The move implies that Drive is not just another Google product, but a step toward creating a larger ecosystem of online apps backed by Google services.
Former Sun CEO Scott McNealy, an off-again-on-again buddy of Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, testified for Oracle Thursday in its infringement suit against Google and Android.
His surprise appearance – in the middle of Google’s laying out its copyright defense – was used to scotch testimony given minutes before by his pony-tailed successor at Sun Jonathan Schwartz who testified for Google. (It’s just so utterly Sun.)
As in all jury trials the decision could come down to personalities.
From the industry’s point-of-view it’s the first – and long-overdue – time McNealy has publicly butted heads with Schwartz whose appointment as Sun CEO is at least as unfathomable as why HP ever let Mark Hurd go.read more

Former Sun CEO Scott McNealy, an off-again-on-again buddy of
Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, is going to testify for Oracle Thursday in its
infringement suit against Google and Android.
His appearance could wrap up Oracle’s side of the copyright infringement

successor at Sun Jonathan Schwartz who’s supposed to testify for Google.read more
The judge in the Java trial told Oracle late Wednesday that it can’t assert
the patent that the Patent and Trademark Office just said was valid against
Google.
It’s too late, he said, although the patent part of the case won’t start until
next week or whenever the jury decides the trademark infringement part it’s
been hearing since April 16.read more

Monday April 16 is the start of what the judge has called the “World Series of IP cases,” an eight-week trial in which Oracle will seek to prove that APIs are copyrightable and that Google infringed 37 Java APIs when it spun up Android.
The trick for Oracle, the judge said, will be convincing a jury that a programming language in the public domain can be infringed.
Oracle, on the other hand, will be able to show the jury the now famous 2010 Tim Lindholm e-mail in which the Google engineer flatly told Google’s founders they needed to negotiate a Java license lest they infringe. All the alternatives, he said, “suck.”
The judge has previously told Google this e-mail is a hot potato that could burn them. read more

The Apple App Store has reached 25 billion downloads, and many of us have bought and enjoy some of them. Really, the apps for iPad, iPhone and Android astonish us many times. The bad part comes when we go back to our desktop computer to use the enterprise software and feel as if we travel in the time some years back.
It would be nice, very nice, to be able to use our mobile device to access to our enterprise software. The question is: are native mobile applications ready for enterprise software?read more
