You forgot that the networking Cisco is in talks to buy TiVo.

If you have a home or wireless network chances are you've got Cisco gear
in your house. Cisco owns both Netgear and Linksys.

No it doesn't.

Netgear was owned by Bay Networks. Then Bay was bought by Nortel, and
just before Nortel could kiss bankruptcy, Netgear's managers bought
their division out. It's since gone public. It's in talks to partner
with Skype, which will tend to **** Cisco. Cisco does own Linksys.

Netgear makes good networking equipment.

Sysco makes crappy food, shelf-stabilizes it (via chemistry or cold),
and trucks it into most low-margin, low-price food sources in most
North American cities. If you can tell the coffee from the cup, it's
probably not a Sysco product. And those neutron-green pickles will be
setting off Pretzeldent Bush's new "WMD detectors" from now until the
election...
