Why is Oracle Not Also Entering the Tablet Market

I have never heard or seen a debate on this subject:
I know that the vision of Java is cross platform but I have a very interesting question. Correct my being naive, if I am wrong.
WHY? (Question), cant Oracle also roll out their tablets that can run Java/JavaFX applications natively. I guess Oracle can join the competition in this area before its too late. Its not too late for Oracle to start a tablet product along that line in their hardware section. They should not just leave that industry to Google,Apple, RIM and Microsoft (none of these guys advance core Oracle consumer tech in their consumer hardware). Even by the volume of java developers in the world, an oracle tablet product that can run java/javafx natively is bound to succeed. I believe all the beautiful things that can be done with JavaFX will be a waste if it does not find itself in tablets asap.
I really suggest that Oracle should look into this. Africa for instance is a HUGE market for tablet and mobile innovation. Several millions aggressive, compulsive buyers of mobile technology!
Is it that oracle does not see tablets as a huge future market? oracle also has a solid cloud plan. The last time I checked, there is no tablet in the market running java/javafx natively except android which is a Google thing. I just want to know why this will not be a logical choice for oracle.
I will really want to know what the java community/oracle thinks about this.

If Sun had been successful at the platform market then Oracle wouldn't have been able to buy them.
I suspect consuming Sun has been a significant management task as well. Swift changes in direction are probably not possible and as far as I know Oracle doesn't make swift changes anyways.

Oracle not focus on the security market ?

hi all,
as my personally experiences, all Oracle Security products till now is not used much in real system. Most Customers not use it, they often use the third-party solutions.
Is that true ? if yes, what is the reason ?
Could you share your opinions about his ?
Regards.

not true...oracle has Audit vault ,Database Vault,Database firewall product and Technology like TDE,network encryption which are used in real system.
Thanks

Tomcat Server Port Number: Why do I have to enter the port number?

My ultimate goal is to setup a website that displays data from a database. I will use Java, Apache, Oracle, and whatever else I need to create a website the uses servlets, JavaServer Pages, and JDBC.
I�ve got four Pentium III computers:
1. Windows 2000 Server to be the web server (MyWebServer, IP = 10.10.1.1).
2. Windows 2000 Professional to be the database server (MyDatabaseServer, IP = 10.10.1.2).
3. Windows 2000 Professional that I use to develop and test (MyDeveloperPC, IP = 10.10.1.3).
4. Windows 2000 Professional that I use as a client to connect to the website (MyClientPC, IP = 10.10.1.4).
I installed Java Web Services Developer Pack on MyWebServer. It requires Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE), so I installed that first. The files I downloaded and installed are as follows:
J2SE: j2sdk-1_4_0-rc-win.exe
JWSDP: jwsdp-1_0-ea1-win.exe
After installing these products, I set the environment variables as follows:
JAVA_HOME = c:\j2se
JWSDP_HOME = c:\jwsdp
Path = c:\j2se\bin;c:\jwsdp\bin; [and other previous statements]
On MyWebServer I start Tomcat (from the JWSDP menu option). It starts properly (as far as I can tell).
Then, from MyClientPC I open Internet Explorer and in the address box I type:
http://10.10.1.1
�The page cannot be displayed�.
I then try again and add the port number:
http://10.10.1.1:8080
This displays the page c:\jwsdp\webapps\root\index.html.
Here�s my question: Why do I have to enter the port number to get a page displayed? Do I have to have Apache HTTP Server running on MyWebServer to display pages without entering the port number?
Thanks for your help.

Oh simmy1, so silly....
You have to enter the port number because Tomcat is running on that port (probably 8080). You actually don't NEED apache at all. Most people use it an HTTP listener because historically, servlet engines and application servers had shitty listeners. (WebLogic 5.1 was really bad.) Not sure how they stack up today.
Port 80 is the default port that browsers will look at. (Try it, hit these forums with http://forum.java.sun.com and then hit it with http://forum.java.sun.com:80. See? Same thing.) If you don't want to have to enter a port number, just make sure whatever is running at the front of your network is serving on port 80. It doesn't matter if its apache, tomcat, weblogic, iis or whatever. There is nothing wrong with running Tomcat on port 80, although using a webserver proxy like apache is generally recommended.
And don't listen to simmy1, this is his second bonehead post I've seen today: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=45&thread=231154

Why does aol not auto enter email addresses when I compose an email?

why does aol not auto enter email addresses when I compose an email?

what a ridiculous decision to change from "starts with" to "contains".
I have a further problem - having selected the address I want from the umpteen options pulled from my address book, I then press enter to add another line for another address.....and the first address I selected changes to a completely different address!
And also addresses from the address book which previously appeared only in black now randomly appear in red.
help please!

As a security precaution, Apple verifies your billing credentials with every transaction whether paid or free apps or using the balance of a redeemed code.

My ibook g4 took a install from apple update . Why is it not going past the screen where is shows Mac OS X

My ibook g4 took a install from apple update . Why is it not going past the screen where is shows Mac OS X

Did you verify the hard drive before installing the update? You could have had hard drive corruption where the computer did not know where all the files are and something didn't get installed correctly.
Did you repair permissions? The installer may not have been able to overwrite a file if the permissions on files were not set correctly.
Frankly, the easiest thing will be to re-install the operating system from the installer disc. While booted to the disc make sure you run Disk Utility First Aid to repair the drive and permissions, then install. Many of us prefer to download updates from Apple rather than rely upon Software update. we use SU to tell us what we need but we download them separately.
For which operating system was this update? Apple hasn't brought out a new system update for G4s in quite a while.

I wonder why that has not been deducted the amount from my bank account

I wonder why that has not been deducted the amount from my bank account

Hello Iria,
Most unusual. I think you will need to wait a few days in case it is a bank problem.
If this situation continues you should contact Apple, after all, you don't want to be thought of as taking advantage, I'm sure. That's why you raised it in the first place.
Do keep us updated.
Thank you for the star.

Apple has stopped development and support of iDVD and iWeb. They are currently only available via the boxed iLife 11 disk from Amazon.com: iLife 11 or maybe eBay.com.

Yrs,
Unspeakably Frustrated

Yes, you can do this. Drag the music track to the background and start adding your pictures. A great way to do this is to use beat markers so your photos will change on the beat.
A really fast way to do this is to line up your photos in an iPhoto album in the order you want them. You can drag the whole album into iMovie at once.
Here is a tutorial on the beat marker feature.
Here is a sample of a slideshow made by dragging in the music first, adding beat markers, and then adding photos.
