Sorry Baby, we will not be getting married. The consensus is that I am too old for you, and I think I agree. After seeing those girls racing around the tennis courts at Wimbledon; Sabine Lisicki, Maria Sharapova, Venus Williams, and even Serena, I realize I can't keep up. I'm not sure whether you believe in God, or even the same God as me, but I believe in the garden of Eden and of Paradise, but it is not a paradise where anything goes. In Paradise a woman can have two bodies, but she cannot have two husbands. For that reason I'm pulling the plug here and now on our future. I hope that you can forgive me, and understand you will still get your money, £300 million, for 12 months.

Oracle vs Google
By Rachel King | April 26, 2012, 9:44am PDT
Summary: In what could be a major blow to Oracle’s case against Google, former Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz defends openness of Java language and APIs at court.
SAN FRANCISCO – In what might be one of the most anticipated appearances of the Oracle-Google trial thus far, former Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz testified on behalf of Google at the U.S. District Court on Thursday morning.

Schwartz served as chief executive officer of Sun from 2006 until 2010. Schwartz is now the CEO of San Francisco-based startup CareZone.
Schwartz described eagerly that when Java was initially developed in the mid-1990s, it came about during a time when there was one company “dominating” computing: Microsoft.
Thus, with the development of web servers and web languages, these newer technologies offered opportunities “to write all kinds of magical things.” Schwartz added that “what was important for Sun at the time” was to open up new markets to basically “get away from Microsoft.”
Furthermore, to promote Java, Schwartz commented that it was “critically important that we not simply market to businesses, but also the seeds of all future businesses,” which he defined as universities and high schools around the world.
Schwartz also confirmed to Google counsel Robert Van Nest that Sun promoted the open use of Java APIs as well.
“You had to if you wanted to see that language broadly accepted,” Schwartz explained. “Those APIs enabled people to write full, complete applications that leverage all the technology underlying the platform.”
He added that the distribution of those APIs across the world enabled the adoption levels that Sun was seeking.
To further boost those adoption levels, Sun had to find a way to be bigger than Microsoft, and Schwartz said that was made possible with the open Java community. Partners included Oracle, SAP, Sybase, and many other Silicon Valley giants.
“It would give us something to pull together that was bigger than the monopoly itself,” Schwartz remarked.
Schwartz described that the community talked about open APIs and competing implementation. He affirmed that basically everyone would have the same set of APIs, but each company would create its own products, the virtual machines specifically, to go off and perform.
Getting into what is at the heart of Google’s case — that the 37 Java APIs in question were free for its engineers to use on Android — Van Nest asked Schwartz if the Java APIs ever sold or licenses separately from the language.” Schwartz replied instantly, “No, of course not.”
Van Nest also asked Schwartz if the Java APIs were considered proprietary to Sun, to which Schwartz also replied no, adding that “we would have worked very hard to say that wasn’t true.When Sun started partnership negotiations with Google as far back as 2005, Schwartz commented that the goal here was to create an even bigger market for Sun.
He also explained that Sun was looking for two things. First, Schwartz said that the “one that mattered” was revenue.
“We wanted a big license and a big fee so they could call it a ‘Java phone,’” Schwartz explained.”
The second benefit would be compatibility and wider support for the Java community because Java developers could then develop their apps for anyone from Nokia to Ericsson to potentially Google.
Nevertheless, Schwartz admitted that “like almost all companies, Google wants to control their destiny.” He acknowledged when you take a license, you can’t control your own destiny, and that can slow things down.
“You’re now married, and you have to find out a way to get along,” Schwartz said.
While Sun wanted to “find ways to make Google comfortable,” Schwartz acknowledged that “they felt they could better execute on their own and didn’t need what we had to offer.”
However, even though Schwartz said that Sun wanted to get revenue from Google if a partnership could be hammered out, Schwartz said that the deal did not fall apart for money.
“We probably would have paid them to work with us on a Java phone,” Schwartz admitted.
Ahead of the announcement of Android in 2007, Schwartz told Van Nest that Sun was aware of a few things about Android, including that Google would be using the Java languages and APIs.
“They were not subtle about it,” Schwartz commented.
Thus in his November 2007 blog post, which has been bounced around as a piece of evidence repeatedly in this trial, Schwartz had congratulated Google on the production of Android.

Do you know how much Princess Diana paid me for designing all those clothes,for he he asked? No, how much? Fuck all, he said, or exactly nothing. You sound cynical, I said. I've been screwd by my own relations, he said, It has cost me $50,000 over 10 years, and I made Camilla an offer and she is ignoring me. I have a new offer.
Salvidor Dali
Born this Way baby 1.06am, 10.11pm your time, I was just thinking about you. You was thinking about me baby, I ask? Well I think about every minute of the day, he say, but that not new. What you doing, I ask, I'll be going to bed soon. Yeah, I know all about it, he say, want me to tell you. Tell me what, I ask? You have a good supply of morning aftr pills, or you going to wait till end of tour and see what develops? What? I didn't go to my art class today, he said, I decided to finish my painting in private. Which one? Wealth, the Japanese Volcano, he said. You know, if you go ahead with this mad idea of marrying Taylor, it will be the end of us forever, and you won't get my Picassos and Lichenstein paintings. You have Picassos? There were two Pablo Picassos, he said, and I was the third. I painted the girl at the pump with the broken pitcher. It is all symbolic. Just looking for it, but I forget what it is called. This one is one of mine too, but there is a story to it.
Lady Gaga's Hotel
The 200-square-meter room has a bedroom, living room, dining room and kitchen as well as a separate meeting room, and is decorated with masterpieces by renowned artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Pablo Picasso.
Korean hotels are cheap, babe, he said. I paid $40 a night when I was there, and I could have got it for 10%. Pie was $3.50.
Sir Isumbras at the Ford
Critical commentary on the painting when it was first exhibited was largely hostile, with many critics finding the horse over-large and ugly and the expressions of the children exaggerated. Ruskin (whose wife Effie had left him for Millais a few years previously) was extremely savage, condemning the picture for making errors in "pictorial grammar" by portraying the foreground as lighter than the "more exposed" hills in the background. He insisted that Millais had suffered "not just a fall—but catastrophe".
We missed the Titanic anniversary, babe, he said. We could have been on it. You were on teh Titanic, I said? Yes. What did you do? Fireman, he said. I shovelled coal 8 hrs a day. There weren't enough of us to maintain speed. How much did you earn? Bugger all, he said, £1, £2 a month.
Tell me the story, I asked? Well it alll started with the Royal Academy, and the Pre-Raphaelites, he said. There is a bit about them here. John Everett Millais was one of them, but the all contributed to each others paintings.
My cousin Margaret, Myself, and Dad's sister Peg (Margarette). It is not supposed to be funny.
He painted Sir Isumbras at the Ford, or rather I did, then did a sketch called Nightmare, and it was circulated before the exhibition by the Royal Academy.
His painting was quite a good one, but when everybody had the sketch in their hands, they fell about laughing, he said, especially the women. Why, I asked? You have to see them to understnd, he said.
The Picasso was slightly different. Pablo shared a mistress with his friend, and he had been doing a lot of very lewd drawings which he had painted over. I picked up a brish, and using black paint, literally traced around the image of one of the figures on the canvas, who had been kneeling, but it hadn't worked out. The legs were too thick. It probably took 10 seconds to paint, but it is one of his best and is worth millions. There is a New Zealand artist Colin McCahn who had a similarly cynical attitude to the art buying public. Many of his friends would help him paint his works.
These artists had another technique in common. They liked to get their female, often young models drunk, and take advantage of them, often several of them sharing her. Some of McCahons best works were painted entirely by me, and I think you can see this if you look closely at them. As a group, the McCahons thought the public would pay thousands for rubbish, if somebody told then it had artistic merit.
Are you saying that they stole your work, I asked? Exactly, he said. It is an important principal, is it not, that when somebody does a painting, it must be all their own work if they sign it.
If they employ somebody else to paint it for them, is the signature not a false declaration? In the past studios may have used teams of painters producing all different parts of teh work, leaving just the face to be pained by the artist who signed it, and they even made copies of works by this method, and passed them as originals, which is forgery.
Why you ignoring me baby, he say? In what way do you mean baby, I ask him? What I need from you is something unambiguous in writing to the effect that you have the financial resources to call the bluff of Guardian Trust.

The Queen should have helped me directly when I asked for her help, but
she has decided not to. Now it looks as you are doing the same thing.
Are you begging me, I txt him? No I refuse to beg he say. What you do is
up to you but you are not acting like my friend who is here to assist
me. I'm too busy babe I say. Talk to after my show. You not serious with
me is you baby, he ask? I have work to do while you and I perform on
stage, don't forget that you can do nothing without God, and I need your
help right now. What you need, I ask? A chainsaw, a few hundred to buy rocks for the garden, some money to fix hole in kitchen roof, and timber in garage which is rot, and some for concrete blocks for new garage I'm building, he say. How much? $10,000. You had $10,000 and you spent it on cigarettes, I say him. Only 4,000 he say. Oh. Good luck, he say. x more
