Apple Eyeing Time Warner Acquisition

#52That 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.
It's really difficult for me to imagine Apple providing a worse customer experience in this sector than Time Warner currently does.
It's not the customer experience that's the issue. It's the 'Apple tax' pricing and the proprietary everything. Not a judgement, mind you, as everyone has their own balance of price vs form vs customizability vs function vs etc.

#53"Apple Time Warner" on HN: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&prefix&page=0&dateRange=...
Not a fresh rumor. My take is still the same: this isn't doesn't make sense because Time Warner is local to the US and only parts of the US at that and Apple is a global company.

He became a billionaire again during the Pixar IPO with 80% of the stock.
If i'm not mistaken, he also became Disney's biggest individual shareholder.
That deal was on January 25, 2006. He became a board member and:
"The transaction was an all-stock deal – making Steve Jobs Disney’s largest shareholder (he owned 50.6% of Pixar at that time; he owned more than 70% of the company when Pixar’s first proxy statement was filed in 1997 but had been diluted by share issuance / option grants over the years). Disney’s proxy statement filed in early 2007 shows that Jobs owned 138,000,007 shares of Disney – enough for a nearly 7% stake in the company. The 10-K for 2006 shows that Disney stock ended the year at ~$30 per share – making Steve’s stake worth more than $4 billion."
