Database giant Oracle has launched a legal action against Google, alleging that the company infringes seven patents it owns related to Java.
Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, was formerly a chief technical officer for Sun Microsystems. Sun Microsystems was bought by Oracle.
The move is interesting because when Sun Microsystems was a separate entity it promoted Java as an open source option.
Google never formally took out a licence from Sun Microsystems, while Java is widely used in a large number of applications created by other vendors. The law suit will cause other manufacturers to wonder whether Oracle will start a patent hunt against them.
The move prompted the Wall Street Journal to remind its readers that Larry Ellison, the CEO of Oracle, is a friend of Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple.
Apple considers Android to be a considerable threat to the iPhone and the Google OS continues to grow its market share as an OS for smartphones.

Tired of default n8 browser's slowness but still want to use it? Turn off the java script rendering. I don't have an n8 but that technique works with my symbian phone.
In my phone, here's the procedure Menu>Web>Options>Settings>General>Java/ECMA script Disable!.
There! Now you can load engadget page without any drama. :-)
Info from mynokiablog. Enjoy.
P.S. I'm not sure if anyone posted the same here, so don't get angry with me if ever.

Only big boyz like symbian OS.Symbian is meant for people who appreciate raw hardware muscle and not some stupid eye candy which is used by samsung,lg,apple to hide ther inferior hardware.
ios and andriod are meant for babies.So all you symbian haters get the fu*ck out of here and go suck Steve Job's dick so that he provides you more white candy.
