EMC acquired lots of companies during these years. And one picture is worth thousands of words.

SIMILE Timeline is used to visualize the data. After some searching, I found something similar(In China, you have to work around GWF to view this page), which incorprates Google, Microsoft, Yahoo’s acquisitions.
