Recently, Google decided it could do more if they were part of the same team, and as such, announced the acquisition of Labpixies....The company explained the acquisition: We both felt the time was right to come together." Thus, 1) Build something users want much better than Google/MS/Apple/etc, or what MGAe haven't foreseen at all. 2) Strike a working relationship with GMAe employees 3) Get acquired by them Insert somewhere: protect intellectual property, be careful of employee loyalty, and beware of idea/content stealing to ensure 3 actually takes place by GMAe.

Doesn't seem to ever be the same person either...
