EMC's Real Acquisition Strategy...

I am not sure that this information is really supposed to be shared with the general public, I overheard it in the exec bathrooms in Hopkinton this week so that makes it pretty "public" domain to me. It turns out that EMC is involved in an evil plot to thwart the future of science. We are buying up all of the cool mathematical and physics-related equations in the world and will then hold them to ransom.
EMC - Obviously we already own Einstein's most famous equation.
Pi - Looks like we are buying the most amazing mathematical constant in the world.
RSA - RSA is actually the same of an algorithm for public-key cryptography.
Rumor has it that we will be buying Binomial Theorem Inc, Quadratic Equation Ltd and the letter 'x'.
Watch this space...
Andrew,
Brilliant! Truly a wonderful piece of EMC Geek humour!

Good one. I think Einstein would appreciate what you're doing to keep him front and center and musically inclined.

Thought EMC had already acquired "x" as part of the x-Hive acquisition...
