Cisco systems has snapped up Danish-start-up Kiss Technology for $61 million, and will merge it with its Linksys business unit. Kiss which makes DVD players, LCD TVs and DVRs, has impressed many with its sleek designs and elegant interfaces, something Cisco needs badly. I think this is a good move by Cisco, which is finally realize that looks matter.
