	CRN \| Larry Ellison (15) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Ellison adamantly maintains that when the cost of hardware and integration are figured in, Oracle is actually very price-competitive with both rivals.
		Ellison is nothing if not brash in his criticism of competitors and their technologies.
		As Ellison approaches his 60th birthday, it may be time for him to make some decisions regarding Oracle and his life, says Marc Benioff, chairman of salesforce.com and a former colleague who considers Ellison a mentor.

	Being Larry Ellison
		Ellison is known as a ruthless businessman, firing senior executives days before the last of their stock options is due to mature and, most notably, denigrating Oracle's chief rival Microsoft at every opportunity.
		Ellison's belief in the power of the network is the inspiration for what is either his greatest vision or his biggest pratfall to date, depending on whom you ask.
		Ellison has been interested in the life sciences for years: in addition to a longtime investment in SuperGen, a developer focusing on drugs for cancer and blood cell disorders, he took a two-week holiday to work in the molecular biology lab of his friend Josh Lederberg, a Nobel laureate.

	Win Larry Ellison's Money - Technology News by TechWeb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Larry Ellison is calling one and all to take the database-application server challenge and try to win his money.
		While IBM (stock: IBM) and other critics contend Ellison's challenge is a frivolous publicity stunt that trivializes customers' needs, Oracle says the offer is not a game and that the company is simply confident enough in its product to offer a performance guarantee at a limit of $1 million.
		But since Ellison made the bold declaration in his keynote address at Open World last October, critics and competitors have picked apart the performance guarantee and are poised to burn Oracle and its leader at the stake if and when the two falter.

	Who is Larry Ellison?
		Larry Ellison is the enigmatic CEO of Oracle-PeopleSoft who has continued to make headlines in silicon valley with his controversial management style and predictions about high tech.
		"Larry made every decision, controlled the board of directors, approved every large sales contract." Even today, when Oracle has 40,000 employees and around $10 billion in sales, Ellison's emotional impact is immense, in keeping with the huge Orwellian-like image he projects on-screen at company trade shows while he strides up to the stage.
		Ellison is unsuited to the current era, but he refuses to let go, believing that he can still remake the world.

		But Ellison was really a businessman at heart, and in 1976 he got the idea to form a company that would build this radical new database.
		Ellison's major innovation was to port its new database to as many different platforms as possible.

	Top CEO: Larry Ellison / Convinced that the future in high tech depends on consolidation, Oracle's founder refused to ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Ellison reiterated his view that the software industry was entering a "period of contraction and consolidation" when he testified in October during the trial over Oracle's bid for PeopleSoft.
		Ellison defended the bid in terms of Oracle's need to expand its customer base, given that it was facing stiffer competition from giants such as SAP, IBM and Microsoft.
		Ellison had argued that while his critics accused him of bullying a smaller player out of the sandbox, his team is actually up against bigger kids in the playground.

		Titanic conflicts are the hallmark of Ellison's life -- from his early friction with his adoptive father and authority figures at school to his self-defining battles with tech rivals such as Bill Gates, the world's richest man and co-founder of Microsoft.
		Ellison's victory in the lethal 1998 Sydney-to-Hobart race, which took the lives of six sailors, and his recent near-miss bid to bring the America's Cup home showed that even his "leisure" activities are high stake.
		Ellison's latest bet is on the Internet and the use of a single database to streamline business functions.

		Some were left wondering if this could be the real thing, given what is known of Ellison's famed ego, and because the wide circulation of the 1997 Kurt Vonnegut commencement speech hoax had prepared the way for this piece to sound plausible.
		Larry Ellison being dragged off a stage is a satisfying mental image to contemplate and provides a wonderful closing for a piece that would otherwise be difficult to orchestrate an ending for, but that's all it ever could be, even if Ellison had addressed the Yale Class of 2000 and had given that speech.
		Larry Ellison is a prime choice for such lampooning because this thrice-married, thrice-divorced multimillionaire is known for living larger than life.

		Ellison's vision for what he calls the first-ever ''e-business suite'' is to create something as popular as Microsoft's Office desktop suite.
		Now, Ellison figures, everyone from giant corporations to tiny dot-coms can buy a single package from Oracle to run their e-businesses, rather than buying software from a host of competitors and trying to stitch it all together.
		Ellison promises he can wipe out another $1.5 billion in costs and push the margin to 40% or more in the next year, which would make Oracle one of the most efficient software outfits on the planet--though still less so than Microsoft with its 50%-plus margin.

		The Oracle chief executive's impassioned pleas for a national ID card prompted one nonprofit group to dub him the "privacy villain of the week," and conservative and libertarian activists are outraged.
		After Ellison ignored an invitation to a privacy confab in Washington, the event's organizers went ahead and played an audio clip of Ellison promoting national ID cards during a recent speech to employees.
		Ellison's trust-the-government-at-all-costs message didn't sit too well with civil libertarians, who fought against national ID cards last decade and thought they'd won this battle for good.

	Amazon.com: The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison: Inside Oracle Corporation: Books: Mike Wilson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		In The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison, author Mike Wilson delivers a fascinating and genuinely interesting portrayal of Silicon Valley's most notorious bad boy, constructed from hundreds of interviews with friends, colleagues, and those unfortunate enough to stand in Ellison's way.
		Wilson paints Ellison as a randy sexist, an egomaniacal prevaricator as calculating in his personal relationships as he is in he business dealings.
		Since Larry is a member of the Vietnam Generation (he turned 21 in 1965), I had hoped that the author would include some discussion of his attitude towards the military, particularly in light of the fact that Larry recently purchased a jet fighter in which he stages mock dogfights over the Pacific Ocean.

		In December 1998, Larry Ellison was steering his maxi-yacht, Sayonara, when it was caught in a fierce, unexpected storm.
		Even if Ellison's energy level and commitment to being CEO remain high, no lone executive, no matter how capable, can single-handedly run an operation as complicated as Oracle and also focus on how to reposition the company for the future.
		It's unlikely that Ellison would ever be forced out of Oracle, since he owns one-fourth of its stock and has a relatively weak board of directors.
