The last weeks have been full of surprising announcements. ICQ/AIM now uses XMPP, Sun Microsystems buys MySQL and Nokia buys Trolltech. What’s next? General Motors to acquire Red Hat? lol

I particularly like the tags on these news applied by the Slashdot crowd:

• regarding the ICQ/AOL news: hellfreezesover, abouttime, suddenoutbreakofcommonsense,
• regarding Sun’s MySQL buy: atleastitwasntoracle,
• regarding Nokia and Trolltech: werefuckingdoomed, cheap.

Right, I do think Trolltech was worth more than 150M$ if MySQL is worth 1B$, but less than 500M$ and why are we fucking doomed?
