Reading the fine print on billboards sounds like a ridiculous idea as drivers go whizzing by at high speed, but Oracle may have hit upon something.
The companys signage on Route 101 just south of the San Francisco airport reflects real market conditions.

Too bad Oracle has to reprogram it every time theres a power blackout.
