TI acquires National Semi
TI acquires National Semi
Well, TI apparently acquired National Semiconductor yesterday. I don't think it'll affect us Mindstorms folks, but it's not every day you see one company pay $6.5 billion for another company. They're gonna need an armored airplane to move all that money...
One King to rule them all, One King to find them,
One King to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
On Earth where Shadows lie.

Re: TI acquires National Semi
But where's all fun and suspense in that? No intense scenes where some defected spy ties up the pilots and flies the plane to some airstrip hidden deep in the Amazon jungle, no Tom Cruise jumping out of an airplane, parachuting into the jungle near the plane, single-handedly incapacitating the twenty man guard and taking off (through a hail of bullets of course) back to wherever the money was 'sposed to go. It's just no fun that way, I tell you!

Sounds like Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. (Kind of.)nxtreme wrote:... some airstrip hidden deep in the Amazon jungle [...] single-handedly incapacitating the twenty man guard and taking off (through a hail of bullets of course) ...
P.S. Indy can take a fifty-thousand man army ... provided that he has a nuclear bomb, a hat,and a refrigerator.
