Well, since practically all of them except for the computational R&D were scooped without my notice...

...oh, [b]pharmaceutical companies[/b] and [b]agricultural companies[/b] are also scooped up...

...oh, look!  Someone started a [b]mining corporation[/b] too...

...and a bunch of [b]security solutions and military companies[/b]...

...and don't forget the [b]entire field of robotics[/b]!

[s]If you guys seriously want me to be that token livestock company that 3D-prints Kobe beef because the rest of you are too damn lazy...[/s]

Actually...that's a good idea.
