What an amazingly written piece. I was learning interesting stuff and chuckling alongside, as well.

Didn't get the closing remarks about Larry Ellison, though. Any explanation?

Oh great, it seems like this year he made the sarcasm about Larry Ellison a lot easier to pick up. Frankly I was still unsure how he really felt about Larry after his review from last year[1]. After reading this, it confirms to me that he doesn’t like Larry :).

The Larry Ellison remarks are written with a lot of sarcasm.

It definitely seemed like sarcasm to me, but it felt a little out of place. Were other parts also sarcastic and I didn't pick up on them?
