Disney Buys Pixar

BlueDjinn writes to tell us that it appears a great deal of speculation over Disney's buyout of Pixar Animation Studios is in fact true. From the article: "[Pixar] is set to meet tomorrow to approve the company's $7bn (£3.9bn) takeover by Disney. The all-share deal will make Steve Jobs, the chief executive of Apple, around $3.5bn and the single largest shareholder in Disney. Jobs created Pixar in 1986 when he paid $10m for the computer animations division of Lucasfilm, owned by Star Wars creator George Lucas."

    Absolute CRAP. Steve Jobs will eventually become the Ying to Gates' Yang, and the two will rend the earth in a bitter battle for supremacy.

    "Teh peoples want teh CG! We gives them teh CG!"

    Deliberately misspelling 'the' once was funny until about 4 years ago. Doing it three times in the same sentence now is just torture for the reader.

    It really shows something, the way internet slang is the first slang in the history of spoken word to actually make the user seem (even) less cool.
