links for 2010-04-20: E-commerce witch hunt; ODF plugin no longer free; Oracle Java virtualization on JRockit, not Sun JVM; NoSQL and Cloud; iPhone leak loses customer

• Amazon's suit vs. North Carolina about preventing e-commerce witch hunt - Let's hope the witch hunt is prevented.
  
• $9,000 is the new 'free' for Oracle - This one doesn't make sense to me.  Why start charging, with a 100 user minimum, for something that isn't going to be adopted if it is charged for?  Especially since there is an open-source offering?  (I have not tried it)  How does this drive adoption?  And not only are they charging for it but are going to charge you maintenance too.  To top it off, the licensing information says there is a 90 day eval but you have to pay to download it.  Hmmm.
  
• Oracle Introduces Java Virtualization Solution for Oracle(R) WebLogic Suite - Sounds like a useful offering.  Perhaps it was in the works before the acquisition closed and is the reason, but what does it being based on JRockit say about the Sun JVM?
• NoSQL Needed For Cloud-Sized Data - Use the right tool for the right scenario.
  
• Peek at lost-and-found iPhone seals deal on Droid Incredible - The leak has affected at least one decision.
