LIFE DESIGN – AMBITION AND DRIVE Education – More Than the “Degree” Steve Jobs (CEO/Apple Inc.) Larry Ellison (CEO/Oracle Corporation) Barry Diller, David Geffen, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Tony Hsieh A few “most likely to succeed” candidates: Oprah Winfrey Tom Cruise Tiger Woods If humans are an ambitious species, it’s clear we’re not the only one. But a yearning for supremacy can create its own set of problems. Socioeconomics at Work When measuring ambition, anthropologists divide families into four categories: 1. Poor 2. Struggling but getting by 3. Upper middle class 4. Rich The Candle Problem Sam Glucksberg, (Princeton University) Question: How much faster did the second group solve the problem? Daniel Pink If you look at the science, there is a mismatch between what science knows and what business does. “If then rewards” work really well for those sorts of tasks, where there is a simple set of rules and a clear destination to go to. That reward actually narrows our focus and restricts our possibility. In Western Europe, in many parts of Asia, in North America, in Australia, white collar workers are doing less of the narrow focus, routine kind of work, and more of the periphery kind. Dan Ariely (MIT) Small reward, medium reward, large reward. In eight of the nine tasks, examined across three experiments, higher incentives led to worse performance. London School of Economics - "We find that financial incentives can result in a negative impact on overall performance." We need a whole new approach. 1. Autonomy 2. Mastery 3. Purpose.

PETITIONER, V
No. In the Supreme Court of the United States ORACLE AMERICA, INC., PETITIONER, v. UNITED STATES AND AMAZON WEB SERVICES, INC. ON PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI R. REEVES ANDERSON ALLON KEDEM ARNOLD & PORTER Counsel of Record KAYE SCHOLER LLP CRAIG A. HOLMAN 1144 Fifteenth Street SALLY L. PEI Suite 3100 SEAN A. MIRSKI Denver, CO 80202 NATHANIEL E. CASTELLANO (303) 863-1000 ARNOLD & PORTER KAYE SCHOLER LLP 601 Massachusetts Ave., NW Washington, DC 20001 (202) 942-5000 [email protected] i QUESTIONS PRESENTED The Department of Defense structured its procurement for cloud-computing services, worth up to $10 billion, for award to a single bidder. Petitioner Oracle America, Inc. filed a bid protest, arguing that the single-bidder award violated federal law, which requires agencies to choose multiple bidders for contracts of this size and type. The Federal Circuit agreed with Oracle that the procurement violated federal law, yet declined to remand the issue to the agency as required by SEC v. Chenery Corp., 318 U.S. 80 (1943). Instead, the court applied its own “harmless error” exception to conclude that even if the agency were to conduct the procurement as a multiple-award solicitation, Oracle would not stand a better chance of winning the contract. During the bid protest, the Defense Department uncovered serious conflicts of interest between several of its employees and a leading bidder. The Federal Circuit acknowledged that one or more conflicts may have violated 18 U.S.C.

GOOGLE LLC V. ORACLE AMERICA, INC
(Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2020 1 Syllabus NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus GOOGLE LLC v. ORACLE AMERICA, INC. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT No. 18–956. Argued October 7, 2020—Decided April 5, 2021 Oracle America, Inc., owns a copyright in Java SE, a computer platform that uses the popular Java computer programming language. In 2005, Google acquired Android and sought to build a new software platform for mobile devices. To allow the millions of programmers familiar with the Java programming language to work with its new Android plat- form, Google copied roughly 11,500 lines of code from the Java SE pro- gram. The copied lines are part of a tool called an Application Pro- gramming Interface (API). An API allows programmers to call upon prewritten computing tasks for use in their own programs. Over the course of protracted litigation, the lower courts have considered (1) whether Java SE’s owner could copyright the copied lines from the API, and (2) if so, whether Google’s copying constituted a permissible “fair use” of that material freeing Google from copyright liability. In the proceedings below, the Federal Circuit held that the copied lines are copyrightable.

Lookout! (V108)
Crossing the Digital Divide (v108) “Lookout!” by Joseph Feigon for the Observer Scott McNealy is an American businessman. He is most famous for co-founding the computer technology company Sun Microsystems in 1982 along with Vinod Khosla, Bill Joy and Andy Bechtolsheim. Oracle Corporation (Larry Ellison’s database client) purchased Sun Microsystems in 2010. Mr. McNealy was one of the relative success stories in the early days of the Internet. Sun Microsystems built exceptional servers, and was a market leader with their Unix operating system as well as their corporate support of the Open Source movement, including Linux. Sun ‘cuda been’ a contender. Lookout was McNealy's inverted name for Outlook, Microsoft's e-mail client. McNealy says you need to "look out" for trouble when using Outlook. McNealy frequently cites Outlook's well documented security problems. He says that to get the most functionality out of Outlook you'll also need Microsoft's Exchange Server. But the combination, and the Microsoft- only mail and calendaring protocol required to connect them (MAPI), is yet another example of how Microsoft locks businesses into proprietary technologies that eliminate choice and flexibility. Microsoft is still here, Sun Microsystems is not. Proprietary software continues to dominate the retail customer (Windows, anyone?), as well as many big companies. Those success stories in the Open Source space build applications on an Operating System (Linux, BSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, etc.) that is open, meaning, free to you and me. Open, as in, anyone with the desire and/or ability can review each line of coding that makes things work.

Software Wars, Business Strategies and IP Litigation
Software Wars, Business Strategies and IP Litigation Immediately after Oracle America filed a patent infringement suit against Google Inc. in August 2010 the trade press labelled this a “software war.” Their interest was a trial featuring Oracle’s “star” counsel David Boies. In mid-January often cited Florian Mueller of NoSoftwarePatents, wrote “Google is patently too weak to protect Android—Google’s cell phone software.”1 (On April 4 Lead bidder Google offered $900 million for Nortel’s 6,000 patents and applications. A decision is expected in June}. By the end of March he had counted 39 patent infringement suits against Google.2 Whether Oracle wins Oracle v Google or not, Oracle and IBM may become losers. It is important that Oracle not alienate the software development community or its customers as it attempts to monetise the assets from the Sun Microsystems—now Oracle America— acquisition. The Oracle v. Google complaint was carefully targeted at Google’s Android software, avoiding the appearance of monetising the Java language and platform itself. The Android software was developed as open source in conjunction with the Open Handset Alliance. Android's mobile operating system is based on a modified version of the Linux kernel, subject to Linux patents. Google published all of the computer code under an Apache Software Foundation License.3 This license is royalty-free and places no restrictions on derivative products or commercial use. Based on IDC market share estimates by the fourth quarter of 2010, Android phones had 39% of the market. An Oracle asset gained through the acquisition of Sun was the OpenOffice open-source software—one of the only remaining substantial “competitors” to Microsoft’s document processing applications.

Databases in the Cloud How Virtualization and Automation Enable True Dbaas
White Paper DATABASES IN THE CLOUD HOW VIRTUALIZATION AND AUTOMATION ENABLE TRUE DBAAS Jeff Stonacek, House of Brick Technologies Jim Hannan, House of Brick Technologies Kris Cook, SITA 402.445.0764 | 877.780.7038 |www.houseofbrick.com 9300 Underwood Ave. Suite 300 | Omaha, NE 68114 © Copyright 2015 House of Brick Technologies, LLC. This document may not be copied or reproduced White Paper Databases in the Cloud Abstract Everyone is talking about Cloud Computing, but there seems to be wildly differing perspectives on what it means, how it works, and the costs and benefits of such a model. When it comes to databases and other business critical applications in the cloud, the message is even more confusing. In this paper, we will share our lessons learned while helping some of the biggest companies in the world with their Cloud and Database as a Service (DBaaS) strategies. We will also share best practices and success stories around automating the provisioning and deployment of fully customized, complex application environments based on Oracle core database technology. Authors: • Jeff Stonacek, House of Brick Technologies - Principal Architect • Jim Hannan, House of Brick Technologies - Principal Architect • Kristopher Cook, SITA - Senior Manager, Database Services Other Contributors: • Nathan Biggs, House of Brick Technologies - CEO Target Audience • IT Architects • Technical Administrators • IT Management • Business Unit Application Owners Executive Summary This presentation is not merely a description of tooling reQuired to automate database deployments. DBaaS involves much more than that. DBaaS requires a culture change for most traditional IT shops. There are organizational and political concerns along with the licensing, security and technical automation components.
