Yeah, in the tech world we had several names for that. The most recent, and the one that stuck the most was "doing a Microsoft". IE, Microsoft would see a small company that they felt was dangerous competition, and would promptly buy it up and kill it dead as a doornail. Seagate did that with Conner, and Intel has done that numerous times to other companies as well. It's like SOP in the corporate world. Don't compete. Just crush the competition into oblivion.
