Larry Ellison wants to be Iron Man

Proving Oracle can't get on with anyone they had Marvel send Webby 2.0 website TechCrunch a cease and desist letter to get TechCrunch to cancel their perfectly legal Iron Man screening.

It turns out Oracle were having their own screening in the same cinema at a different time and didn't fancy the competition. We know Larry thinks he's Tony Stark (Though according to Forbes Larry would be richer. Bruce Wayne probably has enough fictional comic billions to bury them both as guess who ends up with the defence and reconstruction contracts anytime some threat stomps all over Gotham City/Metropolis or Earth? That's right, wholly owned subsidiaries of Wayne Enterprises), but the C&D was taking things too far.

It's be interesting to watch Mike Arrington's monstrously oversized ego seek pretty retribution over the coming months, but since this is Oracle we're talking about it'll be like water off a ducks back.

Unless you're named Microsoft or SAP it's hard to get a reaction from the green glass towers of Oz.
