We get the goss from Oracle Australia and New Zealand chieftain Ian White on the sidelines of the technology giant's gargantuan OpenWorld confab in the United States last week.
Oracle supremo Larry Ellison has taken several potshots at his company's rival IBM, denigrating the power efficiency of Big Blue's hardware and opening fire on its blanket "Smarter Planet" marketing campaign.
Some of the 500,000 visitors expected to walk through the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition on the Sydney coastline this November can be excused for saying they are seeing things that aren't really there.
As Oracle gets bigger and bigger, one question remains unanswered: what type of company is Oracle?

Communications minister Stephen Conroy today announced the controversial web filtering blacklist will be scrapped and be replaced with a whitelist-based filtering regime, to be administered by viewer voting through a family-friendly digital TV-only show called 'The White List'.
There are large conferences, and then there is Oracle OpenWorld. A mega-conference that sees over 40,000 attendees descend on San Francisco.
Adobe's attempt to bring its AIR platform to all handheld devices smells strongly of Sun's attempt to dominate the smartphone market with Java. But will the software giant's efforts suffer the same fate?

SonicWall's feature-packed TZ 210 gateway security appliance is capable of protecting all kinds of networks at a very affordable price. It's easy to set-up and manage, and sets a new price point in the UTM market.
At a very affordable price, the D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615 makes a great entry-level Wireless-N router and would satisfy most situations where a wireless network is needed.
SCVMM 2008 R2 is a very competent product, neatly bringing Microsoft's virtualisation management offering in line with the competition at the same time as offering management of disparate platforms in the one product. The integration with the rest of the Systems Center suite makes the overall management and monitoring experience better than its rivals.
The D-Link Xtreme N Storage Router DIR-685 is a very good single-band Wireless-N router; however, its extra features hardly justify the price.
The AirPort Extreme Base Station is a great wireless router for Mac or novice users who need something that's simple, nice-looking and works well for their homes. Savvy and Windows users will find many other alternatives that offer a lot more features for their money.
