larry ellison oracle 630[1]Oracle (ORCL[2]) CEO Larry Ellison claims that Google (GOOG[3]) is evil and that Apple (AAPL[4]) has rough times ahead.

Ellison claims that Google uses Oracle’s development tools when writing programs for its Android phones. He claims that the company converts Oracle’s java to Android when its done with the work. Ellison says that he doesn’t believe that Google CEO Larry Page is evil, but that his actions were, reports CBS.

“We don’t compete with Google. We don’t do anything Google does. We just think they took our stuff and that was wrong. That’s a completely separate issue … I think what they did was — was– absolutely evil,” Ellison told CBS.

Ellison also believes that Apple is going to feel the loss of Steve Jobs. Ellison says that Jobs was an “incredible inventor” and even went so far as to compare him to Thomas Edison and Pablo Picasso. He also said that Jobs was “irreplaceable” and that Apple won’t do near as well now that he is gone, reports CBS.
