Tough call, Icy.

Per a recent interview (believe it was in "BusinessWeek"), Rob Glaser did not rule out a merger (although he indicated he wasn't interested in being affiliated with "toasters"). Many people see a RNWK merger as inevitable. Still, Rob calls the shots. Under the present circumstances, trying to come up with a short list is tough, but here's a start:

AOL/NSCP (needs it; first, Spinner and Nullsoft, then RNWK?)
GE/NBCi (doesn't need it)
DIS/SEEK (needs it)
CMGI (LCOS) (no precedent for acquisition by CMGI; LCOS needs it)
T/ATHM (didn't need it until Friday!)
Vulcan/GNET (wildcard; acquisition would be out of character)
TWX (needs it badly)
NWS/FOX (needs it badly)
CBS (needs it badly)
VO/USAI (needs it badly)
YHOO (doesn't need it)

Feel free to comment.
