did I tell you three years ago? The clock is ticking on Oracle, the bell already

http://www.businessinsider.com/boxnet-2011-9What did I tell you three years ago? The clock is ticking on Oracle, the bell already rang on Sun. And the local hero is in trouble because of innovator’s dilemmas. Why? Technology tools are being invented as a byproduct of other revenue streams, not in and of themselves. There is no capital in tools.

Goes to my dictum: “For any existing company, any sufficiently competitive innovation cannot be expressed in financial reports.” This optimization of the PAST is what leads to innovator’s dilemmas. The “Financialization” of any business is must of necessity cause it’s future destruction.

Worse, the softly-typed programming languages have won. Anyone who doesn’t understand that will not be in the tools business in ten years.

Do I need to say that again?
