Oracle Buys...

BEA have upped the ante, asking Oracle for $21 per share compared with Oracle's original $17 offer. here

Meanwhile, spending like money is going out of fashion (as my granny would say) the big O have just made their tenth acquisition this year buying Interlace.

If you want to know what that timeline looks like, google for "oracle buys"

Hopefully they are now going to stop acquiring companies and start focusing on the quality of their products... As if!..
