An endless technicolor yawn of fake news and culture-of-death propaganda.
The people would have to go 2nd Amendment to end it.
Massive and powerful conglomerates like this are reducing us to serfs.
Should work for them.
Gayer than a French trombone.
All hail the new Ministers of Culture.
I guarantee you if they do a 15% repatriation tax holiday the cash coming back in would make this a done deal on Apple’s end and they would vastly overpay for Disney.
Just the Marvel and Star Wars franchises alone make it too attractive for words. They’re the only things driving box office anymore.
fags buying fags. hussah.
one word - NO
“massive” hardly ever means better
Been there, done that. AOL/Time Warner anyone ?
Tim Cook, CEO of Apple since Steve Jobs died, has lost its produce innovation leadership. Instead of investing in the business, Cook has pleased Wall Street by spending Apple’s cash hoard on stock buybacks and dividends. Meanwhile the customers who purchased millions of iPods, iPads, Macintosh computers, and iPhones have been disappointed with the absence of transformative innovation since Mr. Jobs turned over the reins of the company. Cook seems more interested the media applause he receives as an LGBT advocate than he does in maintaining the company’s technological and marketing leadership.
Acquisitions, stock buybacks, and dividend distributions are tools used by mature companies to sustain or improve stock price when management lacks the vision to reinvest money generated by the business into product innovation to grow the business. Without vision, and the nurturing of a culture of innovation, companies become cash cows and ultimately are milked to the point of death.
Cook will be celebrated on Wall Street if he buys Disney. The Wall Street bankers will make millions on the deal and the business press will praise Cook. However, a Disney acquisition will be the death of Apple much like the Time Warner acquisition killed AOL. Disney executives will take over Apple and Apples product lines will be milked to fund Disney ventures. Ultimately loyal Apple consumers will tire of “me too” products and meaningless feature bloat. Other companies will innovate and drive technology forward. Apple products will Blackberry, Palm, Atari, Compaq and other brands built on technology that withered due to lack of vision and innovation.
