Well, Steve Jobs did own a lot of Pixar and sold that to Disney.

And Apples Products are Magical And revolutionary

I doubt they will buy all of them, if they do they could ruin a lot of products.

I seriously don't see them buying Adobe or Sony.

Edit: Or even Facebook for that matter.

I highly doubt they could even afford to consider buying Sony--could they?

On the plus side I wonder what an Apple themed Facebook would look like, urgh :P

[Richie]

I'm sure a hxf user doesn't have the funds to buy disney


na but rlly lol it sounds great, say goodbye to walking mickey mouse and hello to walking ipad

The Simpsons will love it. One evil coporation buying another one, you'll get a mega evil corporation :D I doubt Apple could afford to buy Disney, it's quite a large franchise = the film industry, animation industry the history, the franchises (cartoons, characters and theme parks) and sub-divisions such as Pixar, ABC News etc. Are you sure they're not buying shares in Disney? Apple will not be able to afford it.

I'm going to guess we would have to pay a three figure number to continue to use it? Haha. Meaning bye bye to them millions of users! :P

doubt they'll buy disney.... disney is way too like high profile or w.e

but yh

[MattFr]

Apple probably could afford it. If you look at their Market Cap, Disney are worth about $67 billion.

No way could they afford to buy all of them though.

I don't think they'd make the entire service payware. Perhaps a premium subscription but if they bought it and did something as drastic as this I could see the headlines, and they're fatal for Apple :P

On a plus if they bought Disney maybe they could improve the quality of their productions.

Apple hates Adobe - so I doubt that happening.
Disney - I can see that happening, Steve Jobs is on the board afterall.
Facebook - lol.

[StefanWolves]

Rumour is they are looking at buying Sony or FaceBook.. Don't see the point but y'kno, and yes they can afford it.

[Recursion]

They won't buy Sony or Adobe, that's a given, the both of them are far too large... especially Sony.

marc zuckerburg is the youngest billionaire in the world.. i doubt he's going to sell facebook.

Well buying adobe would kill the competition and debate over flash. Like settling a debate by paying the other person a bribe.

What competition is there between Adobe and Apple? :S (Apart from maybe film making software, there really isn't anything else)

The dispute over flash was what I meant

That's not even relevant. If I were him I'd sell up and buy my own island.

Whoever said above Sony is too large, yes, but Apple have the $$$ in the bank.

[Recursion]

Look at how much Sony are worth (remember they have many subsidary companies too), Apple couldn't buy them.

i do not see this happening, i doubt these companys will see to apple
