CNET News reports Cendant to snap up Orbitz

Cendant is a membership services megacorporation, mostly concerned with obtaining personal and financial information about consumers who use its many, many franchise brand names and selling or repurposing that information for its own profit. I avoid Cendant-owned companies whenever possible, and the thought of them now owning Orbitz just means I’ll use Expedia or Travelocity more often.
