This might be out of context, but a question though. How this companies get bought? Of course, building a great product is part of it. But are they shopping around, emailing / visiting bigger companies to buy them? Or they will just wait until some bigger company contact them and have some negotiations?

Congratulations to Aviate. I think they&#x27;re just a new company, I&#x27;m not sure.<p>I really love their home screen and I was afraid that Yahoo might shut them down. If that&#x27;s the case I don&#x27;t have anything to replace from Aviate. I like the combination of Aviate as home screen and Cover[0] as my lock screen.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.coverscreen.com/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.coverscreen.com&#x2F;</a>

&gt; Today, we are absolutely thrilled to announce that Aviate is being acquired by Yahoo. Don’t worry, Aviate isn’t going anywhere.

It&#x27;s not a bad product, but they don&#x27;t actually care for treating even bug reports of the most simple and obvious kind respectfully. Somehow i doubt merging into Yahoo is gonna fix that.

Now, how long until they close down?<p>Yahoo has repeatedly proven it is not a safe location for any service; it is even worse than google in that respect.

I&#x27;m interested to know if this activity will bring any viability or perhaps tempt Apple into allowing greater access to their lock screens?

Can someone please explain why these corporations buy companies for a product they can build themselves for (usually) less money?

I&#x27;ve been using this for the past few weeks and like it. Hope yahoo lets them continue on their own.
