The Vultures

I was catching up with Bob Bickel, VP of Strategy for JBoss at OSBC on Tuesday night. I didn't even bother asking him about the Oracle rumors - there are plenty of sources to troll for that information, and Bob isn't one of them. While we were talking, Gavin Clarke, freelance journalist from the Register and Charlie Babcock from InformationWeek, start walking towards Bob from either side, with clear intentions in mind.

Bob looks right at me and says - "Raven, save me from these vultures."

Vultures? Nah. Although, even Bob was joking. Gavin and Charlie are both excellent writers. Poor Bob was assaulted by Oracle questions during the entire conference, I'm sure.
