In this time of wacky M&A, I thought I would start a list of dream mergers. Please add yours, even if they don't entirely make sense.
UPDATE: Some pretty good suggestions so far:
- Cisco buys Skype
- Sun buys MySQL
- Fedex Kinko's acquires Starbucks (thus monopolizing the away-office telecommuter workspace)
- Boeing acquires Cooper, builds flying car
- Yahoo! acquires Disney
- Amazon acquires last.fm
- Fujitsu and IBM acquire Sun (hardware and software respectively)
- KKR buys HP, spins out Compaq, DEC, and Tandem
- Evite acquires Upcoming (Waxy uses proceeds to provide unlimited free bandwidth for mashups)
- Google acquires Technorati (6 months tops)
