Ellison is a fsking pig, and he would have happily set us back by a decade, just to make a buck. It's pricks like him and his close namesake Edison, who make my blood boil.

Check out how Edison screwed Tesla over, as well as all the other inventors and designers, whose work and patents Edison claimed as his own.
