Steve Jobs for CEO?

I already read the article, but to add on my last thing, don't we want Disney to do more inside work on rides, shows, and movies, much like Apple does?

No! We want Disney to out-source as much as possible as they have done with Pixar, Jim Hensen and many others. If they become a closed shop (like Apple), they will die. :animwink:

Anyway, as for you Mac debate, it isn't the closed system that many people have said cuases it's small market share, but Windows relyance on serving to the $400 PC market. Quality comes at a price, just like another company I know, oh yeah, DISNEY.

Apple has just announced that it is licensing the ipod to HP! You know why? Because Apple knows the ipod will not get enough market share if they keep it in house (as they have done with their other hardware). So, they made the right move and went to the big kid on the block (HP) for help. Now (maybe) the ipod will catch on with the masses. Quality will now come at a reasonable price!
