In related news, Oracle still doesn't support HTML5. Back to you, pron.

I guess the one VM is Adobe Flash.

Actually, with Java EE7, they do.

They obviously didn't update their website to Java EE 7 then. Why wouldn't they? It's the latest and greatest thing!

Jokes aside I guess the whole process of updating their main site is very bureaucratic.

Oracle is a database. What features of HTML5 have anything to do with databases? How is this related to the article?

he's talking about their website... and oracle isn't just a database company the last I checked. I mean, they make sparc servers. And VirtualBox. And Java.

And Fusion which probably is their largest codebase.

If he was talking about the company, it would be an even stranger thing to say. As we are not talking about a technology the only way it could be interpreted is that Oracle (the company) does not 'tolerate' HTML5 as if they have something against it. If he was talking about another of their technologies he should have said so.

Actually, Oracle is a company famous for its relational database. Also, it's notable for its hostility towards open-source and free software.

My bet is that their website must be accessible to the corporate desktops of companies that buy Oracle stuff. That means it has to work with IE6, most likely.

In what way is this either "related" or "news", or even accurate?
