Apple/Intel: Nomad Needs To Get Over It

Yet another article on the Apple/Intel nexus for you. This one specifically answers the predictions made in the last one (the biggest of which was that Apple and Intel were preparing for a merger) and is a good move of bringing people a little back to earth on this particular issue.

...Jobs doesn’t want to take over Disney — he wants to turn Apple into a Disney-esque company. Not in terms of the products it produces, of course, but in terms of cultural impact, brand power, and worldwide financial success. Jobs thinks of himself as a peer to Walt Disney, a visionary who creates something of his own. Nothing at all like, say, Michael Eisner — an executive who simply comes in and runs a company founded decades earlier.
Disney is always going to be Walt Disney’s company.
And Apple — his decade-long exile notwithstanding — is always going to be Steve Jobs’s company.

Yes, yes. I know I am still paying WAY too much attention to this. But it is just SOOOOOOOOOOO weird. And as an Apple fan, Intel has been the devil for way too long for me to suddenly welcome them as a savior. More like an antichrist.
