PopCap Acquires Retro64
According to a Gamasutra article written by Brandon Boyer, PopCap has recently acquired the Chicago-based developer Retro64. Founded by Mike Boeh in 2001, this creative development studio has produced Cosmic Bugs, Water Bugs and the recent PopCap hit Venice.

Mike Boeh is also heavily involved in the independent games industry, hosting both the popular IndieGamer forums and GameTunnel as well.

Shh... that's a secret. Try to ignore every other acquisition too, just so they can wave the Indie flag. ;)
