Apple Posts Earnings, Denies Bid for Universal

Posted by pudge on from the music-over-my-head dept.

Lars T. writes "A number of things: Apple posts Q2 results, and denies it bid for Universial Music. Now a Register article quotes a Reuters article that 'Vivendi Universal director Claude Bebear didn't express his views on the merger talks between Vivendi's Universal Music Group (UMG) and Apple,' which was the claim of the Bloomberg article. Now who needs General Hospital?"

    Every quarter that Apple posts a profit is just another nail in the coffin of that dying company.

    Oh wait..

    I glanced at the headline and thought it said "Apple Posts Earnings, Denies Bid for Universe". Then I realized I read it incorrectly, the article was about Apple, not Microsoft.

    That's not what I heard at all. I have a friend who works at an Apple store. And she said they got a new shipment of boxes... Big boxes! And they don't know what's inside! Her other friend there who knnows the regional manager said it was Universal Music. So there!
