Steve Jobs saying he wanted Apple to be like Sony doesn't really surprise me, they have changed into an entertainment gizmo company, ipod replaced the walkman etc. Apple BUYING sony is a weird idea however

"^ Apple trying to creep into gaming and tv industry perhaps?
makes sense from that angle"Nah they had a big rant about how the fight for a box under the TV wasn't worth taking part in (Jobs @ D8 if I remember rightly). Thats why the Apple TV has been demoted to a wireless streaming box for the Mac/iPhone/iPad

I just heard that my colleague is going to buy a coffee. Although it's not expected to influence Starbucks stock prices, it demonstrates market trends...

Well there are reasons why Apple could buy Sony but they are not really logical in sense how much Apple has to pay for Sony and what they would get from it.
Sony has huge debt. Sony makes Cell processor (alongside Toshiba), Sony does Blu-ray (something Apple doesn't want), Sony has electronic manufacturing factories.. but they also rent some from Toshiba.. so if we are looking at it from Apple going internal with building electronics for their computers or TVs or whatever..
That's a LOT of money to pay for a company to do something that will cost them less to outsource.
I don't know..just doesn't make sense.

Early reports say Apple to buy QBN. Although touted as a strange move by industry insiders, one Apple employee, who wishes to be anonymous, says that Apple just loved the level of Apple 'Fanboyness' found on the site.
When asked what was meant by that, they said "Well, we've made a lot of f*** ups lately, but for some guys, we could kill their mother and they'd still be in line at the Apple store by 5am the next day"

Who starts this shit, what on earth would be the benefit of Apple buying Sony. Makes absolutely no fucking sense

If anyone will buy Facebook I'm putting my money on Google.. that's their core business.
Why in the hell would Apple buy Sony? That doesn't make sense at all.. Sony bleeds money and does the same things Apple does.
Apple buying Adobe? Lol, that's not gonna happen for sure.
Who starts these rumors? Crazy.
