IBM is a huge corporation ...

This is accurate. I worked under their umbrella for over 25 years. They had bought the company that owned our company... and over the course of 10 years or so assimilated us. I'm amazed I lasted so long there once layoffs were regular events more than once a year. Those that lasted were treated well but as the parent says, it's a big place.

Disney To Acquire Remaining Stake In Hulu For Expected $8.6 Billion (cnn.com) 31

An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNN: Disney will acquire Comcast's one-third stake in Hulu for an expected $8.61 billion, the company said Wednesday, in a deal that will put the streaming service entirely inside the Magic Kingdom when the transaction closes later this year. "The acquisition of Comcast's stake in Hulu at fair market value will further Disney's streaming objectives," the company said in a short statement. Wednesday's deal brings to an end long-running speculation about the fate of Hulu, but still requires an appraisal process that is expected to be completed in 2024 to further assess the streaming service's fair value before a final sale price tag is agreed upon.

I've been at it an hour and can't find out a way to get back where I was reading. Other than pressing the "Many more" button a few hundred times and having a really long page.... This site has always been confusing for me to navigate.

Are we the only ones that read the blog 'backwards'?

Seriously, is it a wiki? How else to explain this bit of SCOTUS trivia:

Sonny Bono? Really?
