The world is in corporate hands, but Oracle and the JVM are far from being the worst of it. At least all Oracle wants is your money, unlike a younger kind of mega-corporations that will give you services free of charge only to hold your most secret information – e-mail, photos, current location, documents and more. Oracle can be infuriating, but it's not scary because it can be easily understood. What companies like Google want, well that's far scarier. It's also a completely different discussion. :)
