"Follow the money" Pixar/ABC/Disney/Apple....my what a mess.

[Neshanic]

The Ambien is on me gang! We have been taken for a bunch of saps. No sleep for the Jobians, and absolutely a rough night for the Apple lovers.

How could he do this to us? It can't be true!

Yes it is kids. Watch ABC/Disney sell their little propoganda piece on your little Ipod. Watch...you will see.

1. What about Scholastic? Aren't they supposed to be in the business....

of education? It sure doesn't sound like they want to "educate" the children of America by promoting lies.

6. Scholastic finally caved - it's on DU home page

However, enough of that propaganda was probably already sent out

3. Please, not this, not now...

Macworld.com

It can't be. The same day ABC will let their shit-piece go for free on iTunes.

ABCs piece is five hours long. A perfect match for a new download-movie service. If, and god knows I hope this is not the case, Apple has anything to do with it, we are going to see a world class act going up in smoke in a matter of days.

4. Told you so.... did not believe someone like Jobs could do this.

But he was planning on doing this from the begining. Watch it for free. The news is out.

7. "He (Jobs) was planning on doing this from the beginning"

That's quite a stretch. Your anti-Apple bias is clear, from this and other threads and other posts of yours that I've seen. Got anything to back that up ("Path to 9/11" is Jobs' doing) other than your opinion?

Oh, and please read these before replying.

8. Defenders of Steve Jobs are kinda like Republicans in a way...

First of all read your own links.

It's not other people's problems that they cannot fathom that a couple of billion here, and a couple of billion there, would change someones stripes.

So the propoganda will be distributed free over the video menace machines. Did you think that they just thought of this over lunch today? Steve Jobs was surprised today with this news?

Delusion is sad. Sad because a person so wants to think that an individual would be a certain way, because of the products he makes.

It's all about the money. Apparently Disney/Jobs does not have enough. Their coporate website is a testemony to a monstrosity gone mad. The Pixar deal was the jewel in the crown. Jobs made out like a bandit. Sorry your hero is a money grubbing exploitationist.

Get some sleep...Dream "It's a small world afterall", and they own it.

9. I think you've got that backwards, re: who's kinda like who

10. Your point? He has said nothing. Largest shareholder.....

When we hear his explaination?

By the way, that amount covers the gardening on that house for a year, the historical one that he let go to shit.

11. The Apple haters are now at it 24/7

They remind me of the Swiftboaters.

[Neshanic]

12. How sad.

[Elwood P Dowd]

13. Why do you hate Apple?

Every damn post you've made today is bashing Jobs and Apple. It that your "JOB"?

[Neshanic]

14. I do not "hate" Apple.

Steven Jobs is the common denominator of this Disney fiasco.

Let's be conservative, and pretend that he a moderate amount of pull in Apple, ABC/Disney, Pixar.

He is the largest shareholder in ABC/Disney. He has said nothing publicly on this mess. Not one word.

His plans to sell program content on the video ipods is not a surprise. It is all part of the Jobs deal with Disney.

IF he is so socially connected with the right and wrong, and is admired for the products he makes becuase he tries to do the right thing, why silence now?

IF he is so concerned with what would be put on the new video ipods, why is this crap going out for FREE?

IF he is so beloved by all his followers because he always is doing the right thing, then why no movement now? Why not even an explaination of what and how this fucking piece of crap got by him and the board.

IF he is so hands on, aggressive, and all knowing about what is going on at his companies, then why this September Surprise?

Try for a momnet to realize that this guy has BILLIONS....and an ego to match. Was he caught flat footed? Not a good sign. Is Disney about money and aquistion? Hell YES.

The match was made in heaven, Jobs and ABC/Disney. Don't get pissed at the messenger.
