We're talking about whether or not jury can/should hear about the first trial.

(hear that it happened at all)

Alsup is giving the business to Oracle over their overaggressive brief yesterday. Apparently they criticized how Alsup greeted Schmidt—

"Welcome again," when Schmidt got on the stand. Alsup, "You can't tell me how to run a courtroom." Rips into them for criticizing him for

extending common courtesy to a witness. Oracle seems cowed, I think that brief was a bad move on their part.

Today we're going to start with some videos.

Alsup now explaining to the jury how they can ask questions.

Google [transcript]: Do you recall making a statement that you were flattered by Android?

Ellison: I said I was flattered by a Java based phone being in the marketplace. Google: That was Android? Ellison: ...Yes.

Google: … And that you were excited about more coming from your friends at Google, yes? Ellison: I don’t remember that part… but okay.

Google then plays a video from Java One where Ellison says he's flattered by Android and excited about more coming from Google lol

"I think we can see lots of and lots of Java devices, some of them coming from our friends at Google,

and I don’t see why some of those devices shouldn’t come from Sun."

Now showing a video of a deposition from August 12, 2011.

Ellison on video is being questioned about an email of his. He is very unhappy in this video, weary sighing.

"best way to increase revenue is to build a mobile phone applications suite on top of JavaFx which will make iPhone a direct competitor"

Email that Larry Ellison wrote.

(paraphrase)

Ellison: We never made an effort to enter the smartphone market.

Ellison: We analyzed the likelihood of success…. we could not enter the smartphone market.

Google: Was there ever a document that said a factor for why you couldn’t enter the smartphone market was Android?

Ellison: I have not seen a document that says that. Gets flustered, said it was his decision, that he made the analysis.

Google: Has Java revenue increased since you acquired Sun? (It did)

Google: Do you know why it’s increased? Ellison: *stammers, INCREDIBLY flustered*

Now we're having a readback of a 2015 depo of John Duimovich, who worked at IBM.

Duimovich is testifying on behalf of IBM. He's a Java CTO.

Duimovich is explaining that IBM's implementation of Java uses Apache Harmony (a free, unlicensed implementation of Java).
