Τρελές εξαγορές

[atsouch]

Ας γελάσουμε λίγο γιατί με όλη αυτή τη μιζέρια και την ανασφάλεια τριγύρω δεν θα προχωρήσουμε καθόλου... 

Πόσοι περίμεναν ότι το 2010 δεν θα υπήρχε δώρο χριστουγέννων στην Ελλάδα; Τα παρακάτω τώρα μας φαίνονται πιο ρεαλιστικά. Αντιγράφω από το Gizmodo (http://gizmodo.com/5528137/tech-companies-are-getting-merger-crazy): 

HP buying Palm made some waves, but it's got nothing on the other big tech deals we've spotted on the horizon:

Nintendo Buys Fender: Nintendo removes five of the six guitar strings to make instruments easier to "just pick up and play."

Google Buys National Security Agency: Google Wire Tap leads to an increase in subpoenas of Yahoo Mail users and uncomfortably specific targeted advertising.

Wikipedia Buys Snapple: "Snapple Cap Facts" become much less factually accurate.

Sony Buys MLB's American League: Sony cancels interleague play and the World Series, citing its proprietary "Designated Hitter" format's incompatibility with the National League.

Facebook Buys Twitter: Nothing changes at the companies, but the internet temporarily crashes two weeks later when a Justin Bieber/Oprah Winfrey sex tape rumor gets shared over 400 million times in ninety seconds.

Amazon Buys Metropolitan Museum of Art: All exhibits are eventually replaced with black and white photography to "reduce eye strain."

AOL Buys ABC: Programming schedule immediately reverts back to 1992 TGIF reruns.

Microsoft Buys Anheuser Busch: Bud Light is reformulated every three years to taste a little more like Miller Lite. Meanwhile, rumors swirl about a revolutionary pilsner, but the project is shut down at the height of anticipation.

Apple Buys Adobe: Apple immediately fires everyone and burns down Adobe headquarters. Steve Jobs is found days later, pissing on the ashes.
