I never cease to wonder at "business geniuses" that pay massive amounts of money for a business that is running okay but not massively profitable. Then they change Every. Single. Thing. about the business trying to make it more profitable. When they could have just started one from scratch in that model and spent all the money on marketing it.
@AlphaCentauri As a counterpoint. Apple buying NeXT.
@AlphaCentauri They bought the whole company. 1/2 the NeXT VPs ended up as Apple VPs.
