    TI buys AD, kills off most of the product lines and opens the way for China to dominate the analog IC market.

      Eventually there's only gonna be like 2 or 3 mfgrs left in the world, making everything, and then it'll hit the numerous distributors.

      Kinda like the consumer retail apocalypse we have now where there's ten stores at the mall all trying to resell the same chinese factory stuff.
