All these acquisitions of small companies into large these days reminds me of the same feeling I used to get when one of my favorite indy bands would get big. You’d think, I’m glad for the band to have gotten successful but I’m afraid about what kind of quality will now come out based on this new found success.

This Engadget story about Slim Devices today made me feel that way. I’m glad for the success of Slim Devices and the team and I have nothing against their new parent Logitech, it just means things will change. Of course, things always change, but big acquisitions are pretty much a guarantee of change. Good luck Slim team, I’ll be pulling for you. (especially since your devices are peppered throughout my home….)
