[OpenIndiana-discuss] [off-topic] Samsung acquires Joyant

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

The blog post says that Joyent will stay an independent subsidiary of
Samsung. I don't know any Samsung employees, but I bet a Glassdoor search
will say something about the company and how they treat their employees.

Here's hoping that Samsung will nurture their latest acquisition.

" 'With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the
first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all
irrevocably.' Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie as wisdom and
warning... The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we’re all
damaged." - Jean-Luc Picard, quoting Judge Aaron Satie, Star Trek: TNG
episode "The Drumhead"
