Apple bought 10 companies last year mostly small companies. The age of spending money buying large companies and creating non focused conglomerates is dead.

GE, for example, has been busy making itself smaller over the past couple of years. Google split itself up to become more focused and Sony just announced the creation of a separate PlayStation division.
