Posted by CowboyNeal on from the bovine-inspired-machines dept.

ryanjensen writes "Gateway just completed its $289.5 million deal to acquire Irvine, CA-based eMachines Thursday according to News.com. From the article: 'Many analysts believe that Gateway ultimately will abandon some or all of its namesake stores in favor of selling products at third-party retailers. However, they expect the company to continue selling Gateway-brand products, including PCs and consumer electronics, directly to its customers.'"

    When is the world going to wise up and wipe these fanatics from the face of the Earth?

    I'm not an American and certainly not a fan of the Bush administration, but I'm starting to think his policy of Mudslum extermination is the right way to go.
