Is Apple Ripe For A Takeover?
from the are-you-crazy? dept
I guess it’s been a slow news day for some financial writers who suddenly need to speculate on whether or not Apple would make a good target for a takeover. They have a fair amount of cash on hand, and the valuation isn’t ridiculously high (relatively speaking, of course). I imagine the Apple faithful would respond with shock (and horror). Personally, I think it’s a bad idea also. Almost any corporate takeover would probably end up killing off most of what was unique and special about Apple’s products and culture. Anyway, who would be in a position to buy them anyway? Of the names tossed out in the article (Sony, IBM, Dell, and Disney), I can’t see any of them being really all that interested. The only one that might possibly make sense (under vastly different circumstances) would be Sony.

Over mine and Steve’s dead body that is! I think I read that Steve contains more or less veto power on these kinds of things, so won’t ever happen. And M$ better pray it doesn’t happen, they are in enough trouble with the justice department as it is.
