For decades, SUN Microsystems was a great place to work. From SUN came some amazing technology that still lives on(ZFS anyone?).

I prefer organisations like that over organisations that’s only purpose seems to be to extract wealth from the economy, to line the pockets of the few well connected.

I too want Google to go bankrupt and be acquired by Oracle.
