At The Register, Jasper Hamill reports on the latest oracular pronunciamento from Larry Ellison:
Oracle supremo Larry Ellison has told Apple that it doesn’t stand a chance of success without Steve Jobs at the helm.
In an interview with CBS, the multibillionaire performed a bizarre dance routine meant to illustrate what chance Apple has in the post-Jobs era. Just like the oracles of old, Ellison’s predictions take a bit of interpretation.
The Oracle was asked what he thought of Jobs, to which he replied: “He was brilliant, he was our Edison, he was our Picasso. He was an incredible inventor.”
But then came a question about how the fruity firm is likely to fare without their godhead on the throne.
“Well, we already know,” Ellison said, before embarking upon a simple piece of interpretive dance to illustrate his thoughts.
