I think it would be interesting to see the different aquisitions of different companies such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. and the relationships between the company and it's aquisitions (if that's the term I want) such as whether or not the privacy policy of Google and AOL (owned by Google) are the same.

I thought AOL was tied to Time Warner. I do know that AMD bought ati Radeon. Gateway bought eMachines, and then Acer bought Gateway after Gateway exercised it's options on Packard Bell, so Acer could get a foothold in the European market. As for the trials and tribulations of Google, Yahoo etal, I lost my score card. :D coastie
