Pleasantly surprised by Oracle

Over the last year, I've railed against Oracle for its arrogance in the face of major project failures. We're talking world-class, spit-in-your-face arrogance here.

So, it was with pleasure that I read about work being done at Oracle's AppsLabs. The whole attitude is open, with a clear desire to produce something useful and interesting. What a breath of fresh air!

Note to Oracle sales and consulting: There's a really, really big lesson in here for you.
