  1. For coverage of Oracle v. Google trial today, follow Reuters reporter Dan Levine -- @FedCourtJunkie -- he'll be tweeting from jury selection
  2. Heading to court for big Oracle/Google trial starting today. Proceedings should start in abt an hour. Will be live tweeting
  3. RT @BrandonBailey: Merc's Howard Mintz profiles the judge overseeing Oracle v Google trial, starting today: mercurynews.com/business/ci_20…
  4. In Judge Alsup's courtroom, public section just about full. Court provided power strips for media. Gotta love northern district of ca
  5. I think Oracle GC Dorian Daley is sitting at Oracle's trial table, in the first chair facing the judge. She's a litigator at heart
  6. Duh- not only is Daley there, but Oracle CFO Safra Catz is also at Oracle counsel table.
  7. Oracle atty says Ellison will testify that Java was most important reason for Sun acquisition
  8. Prospective jurors in the courtroom. They take up half the courtroom. We're all sitting on the other side
  9. Judge warning jurors that if they read one word we write, there will be an evidentiary hearing and possible contempt of court
  10. Amazing how fast jury selection goes in fed court. I once sat for 3 days in state court before they figured out I'm a legal reporter
  11. Prospective juror: I used to work for Oracle, interned for Dorian in legal dpt. Court erupts in laughter. "You're excused," Alsup deadpans
  12. There's an inhouse atty on the jury venire. To any jury psychologists: would a lawyer juror help Oracle or Google in this case?
  13. RT @ConMartin: @FedcourtJunkie Once told judge, "Just finished first yr of law school at night and would love to serve!" They sent me back to my day job.
  14. RT @FOSSpatents: @FedcourtJunkie lawyers are more in favor of broad scope of IP protection than, for example, programmers
  15. RT @billkanasky: "@FedcourtJunkie: There's an inhouse atty on the jury venire. Employment alone is not a predictor of verdict or damages. Even an atty.
  16. RT @ChicagoKrista: @FedcourtJunkie I'd much rather a lawyer than a programmer, if I were Oracle.
  17. RT @michaelkaing: @FedcourtJunkie An in-house lawyer won't be as bothered by the Lindholm email. Know ppl say things sloppily that sound worse than they are.
  18. Computer engineer in Silicon Valley is also on the jury venire, has involvement in patent case on defense side
  19. RT @abaseballcoach: @billkanasky @FedcourtJunkie Yes but attorneys r worse jurors when it comes to following jury instructions. They will reinterpret 4 others
  20. Alsup booted two software engineers from jury panel. One worked for Cisco, the other HP. They said cldn't separate own knowledge from case
  21. Free market research for Google: juror says she went to Android phone because of iPhone problems, likes Android but too many buttons
