The behavior of public technology companies that throw off lots of cash is entirely predictable. They are utterly shitty allocators of capital, esp when run by "visionaries." Some easy predictions:

-This acquisition will have zero to negative return on investment, just like Motorola.

-Oculus acquisition for 2B will have zero to negative return on capital

-WhatsApp will have zero to negative return on capital

The abuse of shareholder cash at cash-rich tech companies like Apple, Facebook, and Google is quite breathtaking to observe.
