BEA ACCEPTED an approach from Oracle for its business, which paid $8.5 billion for the firm.

Each share cost Oracle $19.38 and Bea fell to Larry’s charisma only three months after it had rejected an earlier offer of $6.7 billion.

Usually, in our humble experience, what Larry wants, Larry gets. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
