Me Oracle, you…umm???

in General

Mark Crofton, one of my Irregular chums (and a real stand up guy) passed me this link from Oracle. Does any of this PR bollox make sense to you:

“Information Workers need an easy-to-use, task-oriented, rich client user interface through which they can access information and enterprise applications, quickly execute transactions within Enterprise Applications; and share information and collaborate with other people over a variety of channels – messaging, Voice-over-IP, discussions – using familiar desktop and mobile tools,”

More important still, could you speak the entire sentence without drawing breath?

Sometimes I’m reminded of sentences from my favourite film Heat with Pacino and De Niro. In this case I’m reminded of the scene where Ashley Judd‘s character is being pressured by Drucker. The detective ( says:

‘An’ you know where this goes. Fucked for life.’

Is this the guaranteed way to kill off any understanding about how traditional styles of application fit into the modern collaborative landscape? We all need to learn, some more so than others.

Fantastic site, I really like your writing style. Very distinctive and easy to follow. On a lot of blogs people just drone on and on, but not you - very nice. Keep up the excellent work! I find VoIP very interesting. I have learned a lot in implementing a small VoIP network at home, and am thinking of starting VoIP business in my area. There are a number of small businesses in my region that would benefit from it greatly.

A really good comedian could make a great gag out of the quote. Keep pushing the spiel and it goes from being clever to comical. There's a blog category in waiting - global corporate nonsense. Think I'll start one up now.
