I would love if Apple would try to buy out one of major Hollywood studios or music labels. For instance Disney's market cap is $80B and Steve Jobs also was the largest shareholder of Disney. This could truly cause a revolution in digital content delivery.
I know making films or music has nothing to do with their core business, but if a search engine can buy Motorola. Why the hell not?

- ma2rten 15y agoOkay. To buy a music label, would be problematic, but Apple is not really a big deliver of movie content in terms of market share, yet, are they?
- thetron 15y agoIt would be great if Apple could deal themselves into the content creation game a little. If they purchased an existing studio and were able to distribute their own TV shows and Films in the manner that they wanted, then they would not longer have to go through lengthy deals with other studios before releasing new products. And having that content would put pressure on other studios to negotiate quicker (I would think). Whilst that would be exciting and interesting - I think it will only be something boring like a dividend.
