That would be an awful development for those of us who are stuck with only Time Warner as an internet option and want nothing to do with Apple.

Time Warner Cable is an independent entity that was spun off from Time Warner (the media company).

Interesting, because they used to own PIXAR but sold it to Disney.

If this happens it would put them in competition with them.

Apple never owned Pixar. You may be conflating them with Steve Jobs, who did own a majority stake at the time of the sale.

I love people that buy Samsung for 'ethical' reasons.

Steve jobs used to own Pixar.

He became a billionaire again during the Pixar IPO with 80% of the stock.

Lovely that this site's "sponsored content" ads on the right are completely inappropriate for work and take up a pretty decent chunk on the page.

The images are:

1) Woman wearing shirt that exposes most of her breasts.

2) Man kissing a woman's neck while both are in bed. Man appears to be shirtless, woman is in bra.

3) Woman in bikini with her hands holding her breasts up.

4) Woman in cutoff white shirt having breasts sprayed with a hose.

5) Female cheerleader (this one is not so bad).

I'm not sure why any of that belongs on a business article about Apple eyeing a Time Warner acquisition.
