I can’t even begin to analyse the ramifications of this happening! Reports I’ve read say that the two companies are talking and it’s a deal that could be worth about $50 billion.

There’s a part of me that really wants this to happen, but not because it’ll stick it to Google. Quite the opposite actually. I posted before about how it’s currently hard to root for Google because they’re growing so rapidly and seem impossible to stop.

A deal like this would surely put them on the back foot for a while and, in my eyes, make them an underdog again. I like rooting for the underdog.
