Oracle failed to produce CEO's e-mail

Cue the tiny violins: a federal judge ruled that Oracle "destroyed or failed to preserve Chief Executive Larry Ellison's e-mail files sought as evidence in a class-action lawsuit filed in 2001 against the software maker." The alleged destruction (or failure, depending on how you look at it) happened in 2006-- well after Oracle touted archiving features in Oracle Collaboration Suite. Ooops.
