Google may need to acquire Adobe in order to ensure Google Chrome interoperability .. think I’m kidding?.

There was once a small company named Macromedia that developed. They developed something called Future Splash. Many people thought it was much cooler than their other larger product called Director.
Future Splash morphed Flash.
The web was changed forever. Macromedia Flash! Huzzaah!!
Macromedia Flash WAS media. Horraah! 99% adoption rate.
As for print, there was Adobe. Adobe wanted to be more media. So, they thought they would just buy out Macromedia. Tadaa!!!! Adobe Flash. Huzzaaah!!! Wooooohoooooo!!!! Haaa!!!
Adobe wanted to control its destiny as a web-print media company who can “seamlessly” provide print/desktop and web solutions. Failed. Well, sorta.
Now, cometh Google (with Google Chrome) who wants to provide a seamless connection between desktop and the web.
It looks like Google needs to acquire Adobe.
Google would benefit because it can buy out Adobe then re-purpose the software development team to focus on desktop-web-hybrid applications. Google Photoshop. Bwwwahahahahah!!! Adobe will benefit because it will not be left behind in the new frontier of cloud computing.
Wait.
* panic attack*
