Just reading some news about Intel’s acquisition of Wind River Systems.  I won’t comment on what I think of the acquisition, but I think the article referenced below from Ars Technica is spot on.  Also the quote below that is one of the funniest I have seen from a technical journal.   You’ll have to read the article to get context.

In other news, the fact that Microsoft will not give me a gold-plated bust of Bill Gates for my office is a blow to my hopes of becoming a guy with a gold-plated bust of Bill Gates in his office.
