Eat me, Michael: 98% of EMC shareholders back Dell mega-gobble

This is of course assuming that the voters were voting the way they wanted to...

Corporate titan or tontine corpse?

Shinking Company Buys Other Shrinking Company

And the shrinking fish ate the shrinking fish and so ad infinitum ...

That old trick...

...of tying two rocks together and seeing if they float.

Don't blame me... I voted against, in the name of competition and innovation. But maybe there will be some more spin offs if we're lucky.

The only way to go.

EMC had run itself into a corner (albeit quite a lucrative one). As I said before the Dell-EMC deal was announced: "EMC will have to kill itself to survive". EMC is gone, long live EMC!

I just hope that as many people as possible keep their jobs. The rest of this deal will just be about the dispersal of spoils to the share-holders and the board (which is not unusual or nasty, just the way corporations work). Once that is over it is my hope that the "new" EMC can survive and once again do great things in the area of technology.
