Thanks, I didn't realize they had this policy in writing, as opposed to just being something the customer service could give out when you complain.


Oh man, now its time to dig through all my emails for tracking info. Thanks for that!


Groklaw had a clear bias and that could be corrected for. Their clear explanation of legal minutiae such that even a layman could understand it, and their attention to detail is why I follower their coverage.

Why didn't you just click the 'Install' button and let it send it to your Android automatically?


I was not logged in to my Google account. Good to know it works that way too.


I don't know if it was reverse psychology, but I had a hard time not clicking on the Ruby on Rails add when told not to.


Next Success?


Heartfelt though, and with the exposure Groklaw articles have, it's certain (?) to reach someone in Oracle.

I sincerely doubt that it'll make a difference, but it shouldn't be because no one told them differently.
