Different people, different reactions

Different people have different reactions to the same piece of news. This is quite common knowledge and I also completely endorse this fact. This was proved once again after this press release from CISCO declaring that is is buying Navini. For a brief background, CISCO is one of the biggest players in networking domain. Navini is a startup working on WiMAX (a part of Networking).

My reaction: Thats good for the technology. It has found an important supporter in CISCO. It is good for me because I am working on WiMAX and CISCO buying Navini means I am most probably working on the technology of the future.

A business friend of mine - his reaction: CISCO bought Navini for $330 million. Navini is such a small company. $330 million sounds cool - huh.....
