Company merging on the horizon

The Inq. talks about some major company merging that could take place this summer. What is likely to happen is summarized in the following list:

• eBay is in talks with Microsoft and Yahoo regarding cooperation and perhaps even a combination
• Oracle, SAP and perhaps Novell might be "up to something"
• Telecoms will surely continue to be a big source of deal-making and not just through attempts to build scale and geographic coverage. Deals such as Sky-Easynet and eBay-Skype suggest that combinations of services could be the way forward.
• Sun might be bought by Fujitsu Siemens, HP or Dell

Microsoft on The World’s Most Ethical Companies list 5 years in a row

I think that Microsoft is an ethical company, personally I have nothing to complain. However, the list itself and institution behind it is clearly just a business with no factual value; if a company like Adobe is on the list, the list can't be taken seriously. Adobe is not ethical, a company who tries everything they can to feed third party software to anyone downloading and installing their products like for instance the McAfee and Chrome / Chrome Toolbar which are offered and by default selected when downloading Flash Player or Adobe Reader and which many consumers do not notice therefore installing them, too.
