BBN (formed by Bolt, Beranek & Newman) have a timeline of their activities. Included are such mundane events as inventing routers, TCP and implementing ARPANET - without all of which you certainly wouldn't be reading this page.
And then you come to the last page covering this decade. And it the only news it contains is of a corporate merger and a bloody rebranding exercise. That just seems awfully sad.
Interviewer:"What is your biggest contribution to computing so far this millenium?"
BBN:"erm... we have a nice new logo??"
