California-based Seagate Technology LLC, the world`s biggest maker of hard disk drives, is paying $1.9 billion for data storage company Maxtor Corp. (Source)

I wonder if this will have any positive outcome for consumers?

Oh, and my buzzword-o-meter just broke:

'The combination of Seagate and Maxtor will build on Seagate`s foundation as the premier global hard disc drive company, leveraging the strength of Seagate`s significant operating scale to drive product innovation, maximize operational efficiencies, and realize significant cost synergies,' Seagate said.

I immediately referred to an image I came across a while ago:

Heheheh! that graph is 10x better than what this thread was created to discuss ... how i wish i had one of these when talking to the bosses at my last 2 big jobs :/

THis is going to make for an exciting game of the forums ... perhaps we could make a QGL bandwagon specific one?

Excellent graph. hahaha.

love the pic, though is missing quite a number of buzzwords, 'engage' 'baseline' 'staff engagement' blah there is heaps, it's too early to think, I might add to this later tonight

it misses paradigm

I will also give the diagram props.

Thumbs up for the graph!

Mildly interested in the acquisition.

hehe.. that's a keeper

That really sucks that Seagate are aquiring Maxtor, there goes the quality Maxtor had :/
