Meluruskan "Transkrip pidato Larry Ellison, CEO dari ORACLE, di sebuah acara wisuda sarjana di Universitas Yale", http://www.snopes.com/quotes/ellison.htm menyatakan bahwa Larry Ellison TIDAK pernah menulis pidato tsb. Demikian menjadi ralat dan mohon maaf sebesar-besarnya. Mohon tidak meneruskan e-mail tsb. Selalu cek di Google sebelum forward: suatu pelajaran berharga :)
salam, Juneman Claim: While delivering the commencement speech at Yale University in 2000, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said: "Graduates of Yale University, I apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but I want you to do something for me. Please, take a good look around you. Look at the classmate on your left. Look at the classmate on your right. Now, consider this: five years from now, 10 years from now, even 30 years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. The person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser. And you, in the middle? What can you expect? Loser. Loserhood. Loser Cum Laude." Status: False. Origins: In July 2000, an inventive story about Oracle CEO Larry Ellison bestowing an unusual commencement speech upon the graduating class of Yale University began popping up in various inboxes. Some were left wondering if this could be the real thing, given what is known of Ellison's famed ego, and because the wide circulation of the 1997 Kurt Vonnegut commencement speech hoax had prepared the way for this piece to sound plausible. In truth, Ellison did not give a such a speech at Yale, nor anywhere else. The article was the fanciful creation of Andrew Marlatt, a writer for the satire website, SatireWire. It was reprinted (with SatireWire's express permission) on BBspot, another satirical web site. [1] Transkrip pidato Larry Ellison, CEO dari ORACLE, di sebuah acara wisuda sarjana di Universitas Yale.
