PeopleSoft gives in, accepts Oracle's $10.3B bid: I knew Larry would get what he wanted eventually.

Ending 18 months of bad blood, Oracle is snapping up bitter rival PeopleSoft for $10.3 billion to create the world's second largest maker of business applications software.

I wonder how long it will take before "Oracle" starts making you think "applications" before you think "database server."

Larry Ellison Testifies


Larry Ellison Testifies 06/30/2004 09:19 PM

I've been in federal court this afternoon to hear Oracle's La rry Ellison testify in the important antitrust case in which the government is trying to block Oracle's buyout of PeopleSoft. Ellison was, as you'd expect, a cool customer of a witness. But his appearance may have been something of an anticlimax, given that the issues of this case have been pretty well thrashed out by previous witnesses. Still, it was fascinating to watch. More later.

Notes from Larry Page's Talk 03/13/2003 10:24 AM
J. Bradford DeLong has some interesting notes from a talk given by Larry Page.It wasn't that we intended to build a search engine. We built a ranking system to deal with annotations. We wanted to annotate the web - build a system so that after you'd viewed a page you could click and see what smart comments other people had about it. But how do you decide who gets to annotate Yahoo? We needed to figure out how to choose which annotations people should look at, which meant that we needed to figure out which other sites contained comments we should classify as authoritative.Brockerhoff wonders if this is why they bought Blogger....

The Cheerful Transgressive Ever since 1971, when Larry Clark published Tulsa, an austere series chronicling his meth-shooting pals in sixties Oklahoma, Clark has made it his mission to document teenagers at their most deviant, their most vulnerable, their most sexually unhinged (possibly NSFW). And now “Larry Clark” the first American retrospective of Clark’s work, currently on display at the International Center of Photography, demonstrates the richness with which he’s mined this single subject (NSFW).

Good movie for Larry Summers


Good movie for Larry Summers 03/17/2005 03:24 AM

Six of us T'd down to the New England Aquarium's IMAX theater (not the distorted curved Omnimax of the Science Museum) last night and watched Aliens of the Deep (3D), in which James Cameron, director of the movie Titanic, goes 3000' to 10,000' down into the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to film the unusual forms of life living next to thermal vents.  Precious few details are offered about the animals in question.  Much time is spent on computer-generated speculation about a mission to the oceans of Jupiter's moon Europa, which has a 16-mile covering of ice and below that, some intelligent big-eyed snails who've built themselves an underwater brightly lit Indian casino.

Larry Summers should see this movie because nearly all of the scientists shown are women.  In fact they are nearly all young buff women of color (or with Hispanic surnames anyway).  Maybe this is why we are able to hire scientists for $35,000/year.  Sadly for Science, it seems that in a world where all scientists are women no math is done and you never learn anything about the phenomenon studied except "this is really cool" or "this is really beautiful".

We were all disappointed that Celine Dion was not featured on the soundtrack.

I confess, I have a soft spot in my heart for inside-out languages like PHP. The first real compiler I ever wrote was for a sort of text-processing macro language in which the commands were embedded in the data. This is part of a more general class of programming languages in which a peculiar form of processing is assumed by default, such as the pattern/action syntax of awk that assumes an invisible outer loop. -- Larry Wall

Steve Jobs Is Overpaid While Larry
Ellison Is Underpaid


Steve Jobs Is Overpaid While Larry
Ellison Is Underpaid
06/18/2004 07:02 PM
Nothing seems to get people riled up in the tech world like executive compensation arguments. Everyone likes to argue over who's overpaid and who's underpaid. Luckily, we no longer need to argue over it (yes, I know you will anyway) because the San Francisco Business Times has put their crack research team to the task, where they discovered: celebrity CEOs Terry Semel and Larry Ellison were underpaid, while Steve Jobs was overpaid. The article doesn't mention it, but Steve Jobs salary was only $1 last year, which may make you wonder why he's considered "overpaid". It turns out that Apple granted him nearly $76 million in stock, which sort of offsets the low basic salary (not to mention his $52 salary from Pixar and his free use of the corporate jet). Ellison, on the other hand, earned just $59,165 in salary. Lucky for him, the $40.5 million he took home from cashing in stock options didn't count in this game, since it wasn't part of his 2003 compensation from the company, but a personal decision to sell holdings. Meanwhile, the worst on the list was Michael Cannon, CEO of Solectron, who brought home $18 million while his company lost $3.5 million. Isn't that the point at which the CFO or the board should have gone up to him and said: "Um... you think you could do without a few million so the company is actually profitable under your watch?"

Larry Summers, women, and jobs in math
and science
02/01/2005 09:38 PM

To judge from the latest nytimes.com it seems that Larry Summers, the president of Harvard, is still getting beaten up for saying that women might not be genetically adapted as well as men for careers in math and science.  None of the news articles go into the question of whether these are good enough careers that anyone should care about the racial or sexual composition of people in them.  More than half of medical students are women.  Every graduating MD will get a job and the average salaries in the career range from $150,000 to $300,000+ depending on specialty.  A new math or science PhD will compete with 700 other applicants for one job, usually paying less than $50,000 per year.  Most of them could have made far more money and had far more job security if they'd gotten a bachelor's in education at the state teacher's college and, at age 22, taken a job as a schoolteacher in a public school.

A lot more men than women choose to do seemingly irrational things such as become petty criminals, fly homebuilt helicopters, play video games, and keep tropical fish as pets (98 percent of the attendees at the American Cichlid Association convention that I last attended were male).  Should we be surprised that it is mostly men who spend 10 years banging their heads against an equation-filled blackboard in hopes of landing a $35,000/year post-doc job?

Wired -- Larry Flynt: Life, Liberty and
Pursuit of Porn
02/19/2004 11:34 AM
For today's edition of Wired News, I interview Larry Flynt. As Hustler magazine nears its 30-year anniversary, the adult entertainment magnate reflects on how technology has changed his business, the Justice Department's new "porn czar," the f irst major federal obscenity prosecution in over a decade, how the Patriot Act relates to porn, and why online anonymity matters. I also asked him about some recent allegations regarding George W. Bush that were attributed to Flynt, and published by New York Daily News. His response: a new book he's releasing on July 4 will document a year-long investigation into those claims. Snip:

Larry Flynt: [Technology has] had a dramatic effect. In the 1980s, publishing was 80 percent of my business. Now it's about 20 percent, and the rest is Internet or video. I don't think many people anticipated how the Internet was going to revolutionize the way we disseminate information. Now everybody does -- but some did in time, and some didn't. That's one of the reasons Penthouse filed for bankruptcy. They were relying totally on publishing. We knew in the early 1990s that we needed to diversify and branched out into a lot of different areas. Technology still has many surprises for us down the road, particularly in the wireless area. It's going to be absolutely phenomenal. In the next two to five years, you'll see the computer and your home television set merging. You'll have one remote control, and they'll effectively be one device.

WN: Do you ever get tired of having to answer for the actions of some of your more extreme colleagues in the industry?

Flynt: No. I let them do their thing and I do mine. I try to set an example for them. But I've been to prison, and I don't think some of them have. Let them try it, maybe it will change their attitude.
