That's been in the back pages for ages. It was more a question
of "when" as to "if". (As is Microsoft's acquisition of Ubuntu's
Canonical).
I hate it to see HD manufacturers become oligopolies.
We foot the bill.

And WD is in turn now 15% owned by a company that is ultimately
controlled by the Chinese government, UniSplendour.

And a member of the same "family" of companies bid for Micron Technology
in July:

Not so bad, then. There will be some kind of competition
between them. Enough to keep prices reasonable.
