Tuesday Pipe Dream: Sony Might Be Bought By Apple

From Appleinsider:

"A new rumor has pegged Apple and its $51 billion in cash and investments as a potential buyer of Sony..."


Quote me on this: bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Not a chance.

Microsoft would be a much better fit. They've always been a software company whose hardware is lacking. Buying Sony would automatically upgrade their hardware capabilities. And there's some good synergy in such an acquisition. Both companies are behemoth bureaucracies that were once seemingly unstoppable about 15 years ago but which have shot themselves in the foot so many times that they're having trouble finding a leg to stand on.

Might be a good way to put both companies out of their misery at the same time, come to think of it.
