#2From the statement:
> Mr. Lynch then accused of Oracle of being ‘inaccurate’. Either Mr. Lynch has a very poor memory or he’s lying.
Wow, things are really getting dirty between Oracle, HP, and Autonomy. Wonder will this affect HP's embattled share price further?

Autonomy CEO then said "WTF we never talked to Oracle about being purchased".
Then this.
