That is such a lame name.

What to do instead of something.

That’s just sad, really-really sad.

Why would anyone get worked up about this? As I understand it, the gun company known as Smith and Wesson will still be Smith and Wesson…the company that owns the gun company known as Smith and Wesson, will no longer be called Smith and Wesson Holdings.

It means they’ll be selling tents and mountain bikes to unsuspecting “Progressive” anti-gun vegan hikers.

I worked for a company called Fusion Semiconductor that became a subdivision of Eaton Inc., which shortly renamed us Axcelis. I moved on to Motorola, which spun off its semiconductor group as Freescale Semiconductors, which was bought by a consortium led by Blackstone Group LP with Carlyle Group, Permira and TPG Capital, which then sold us to NXP, which is now selling out to Quallcom.
My job was the same under each name and company change.
