Schadenfreude
by peterbAllume, the publisher of facehuggerware product Stuffit has been acquired, for $11 million in cash and $2 million in stock. To put those numbers into context, realize that it is less than half of what Microsoft books in earnings, on average, every day.
Maybe there is some justice in the world, after all.

That's only justice if the earnings from any one product at Microsoft exceed the earnings generated by Stuffit. Otherwise, the joke's on you. D'oh...
