Acquisition Day: eBay and Oracle both spent a few pennies...

Due to Scobleizer its acquisition day today:

1. Oracle acquires Siebel Systems - which brings two megalomachos into the same boat :-)
2. Ebay acquires Skype - which opens new horizons to a new generations of auctioneering gadgets.

All in all both companies spent lousy 10 billion dollar - which makes the rumor-deal of Deutsche Post with British logistics company Exel of 5 billion Euro look like a second-class deal. And I thought THAT one a big deal.
