For that added bit of irony, the very short list of Platinum members also includes Oracle, who has been suing Google (merely a Gold member) over Android. And now the first thing Samsung mentions among their reasons for joining is...Android.

Anyway, Go Samsung! Wish there were more like you out there. :)

And Larry Ellison burnt all that karma for... nothing. Squat. What a dork.

At least he did not manage to cause the damage to the entire software industry that he intended with his fanciful interpretation of copyright law. But I do not doubt he will try some similar stunt again soon. Just to drive the point home... the dork point.
