development of Android in 2005. They contacted Sun with the hopes of getting approval to use, adapt and open source Java, which was unsuccessful. According to court documents from Oracle America, Inc. v. Google, Inc., “The point of contention between the parties was Google 's refusal to make the implementation of its programs compatible with the Java virtual machine or interoperable with other Java programs. Because Sun/Oracle found that position to be anathema to the "write once, run anywhere" philosophy, it did not grant Google a license to use the Java API packages.” Google decided to continue developing Android, and ended up using thirty-seven of the 166 Java APIs. Specifically, Google created its own version of Java, called Dalvik. Despite being different on the surface, the structural components of Dalvik and Java were so similar that a Java program could be adapted to work in Dalvik. Interestingly, Sun was aware of Google’s usage of their APIs, but remained dormant until they got acquired by Oracle. The fact that no action was taken against Google prior to Oracle’s…

important thing on our planet to keep all things running is the sun. It gives off rays that help the plants and trees grow which give us oxygen. Within the twenty-four hour rang we have in a day the sun splits it into two halves; Night and day. However the path of they sun is always changing and is never the same.

While for me nature signifies youth, freedom, hope, life and comfort. While I respected Murphy’s series and messages he was conveying, the one particular photo that stood out the most to me was an image of a…
