Disney Sups with the Devil

Maybe it is just me but when I heard that Pixar and Disney had failed in their negotiations it was like waiting for the other shoe to drop. Well it can't have been just me, because lots of Mac sites mentioned the rumour that the head of Disney looked likely to take a spill and one of the possible replacements was the head of Pixar (and if you don't understand why Mac sites would mention that rumour then you need to read some Apple history). I dunno, that sounds too much like history repeating.

So what could it be? Then I found this story. Well, if I was the head of Pixar, and I knew of that upcoming deal, then I would walk out as well. As most of the analysts point out, Disney will lose more than Pixar and this deal will make things much worse.

As the saying goes, I hope Eisner has a very very long spoon. Micromickey Mickysoft - here it comes.
