Successful Acquisition Stories
I read a blog post about "top ten worst deals in tech" or something to that effect. A comment on the post stated that there seemed to be no successful acquisitions.
It got me thinking. Can you name any successful acquisitions?

Non Successful:

- neuromancer2600 15y agoThere is a nice thread on Quora that discusses this question: http://www.quora.com/Which-have-been-the-most-successful-acquisitions-in-the-consumer-technology-space http://www.quora.com/Which-have-been-the-most-successful-acq... My favorites are probably PayPal (by eBay) and Overture (by Yahoo).

- nametoremember 15y agoThere wasn't much point in voting me down. This thread didn't take off. It had a link to nearly the exact same question which satisfied this threads needs so I said thanks. It didn't hurt anybody. EDIT: More cowardly downvotes.
