I ran the Java update today, and it asked me if I wanted to install the Ask.com toolbar helper. Seriously? Java wants to install crapware?

Had lunch with Oracle people yesterday, brought up Java. All they could do was shake their heads "There's more to come"
It's not me, it's someone else.

When Sun and Oracle merged, I remember saying, "They're going to end up making both things shittier."
