Why Apple Should Acquire AMD
slashdotLIKES writes "CoolTechZone.com columnist Gundeep Hora has a new column up that discusses why Apple should acquire AMD and how both companies would be a good fit for each other. From the article, "After private equity groups, let's look at a more strategic acquisition. For that, Apple is the best bet. Yes, I know it sounds way too radical to be taken seriously. However, Apple could drop Intel altogether and adopt AMD for its Macintosh PCs. Sure, the transition is going to take sometime, and it would probably make Apple announce a brand new line of PCs. However, it will be well worth it. We know Steve Jobs is ruthless when it comes to making interesting deals with powerful companies. This makes AMD a perfect match. Obviously Intel isn't going to be too delighted, but other companies don't bother Jobs. We all know he's the type of executive who crafts deals on his own terms. If Intel wants to be associated with Apple, then they won't really have much of a choice."
The trolls are out I see. No explanation I suppose for that comment?

Apple makes a lot of money from schweet laptops, and they are not about to ditch the best laptop CPU money can buy for a contender. Also, Apple iPhone is going to use ARM CPUs [...], and Io and Behold, Intel also has an offering in that area.
I see, I see. So your point is Intel should buy Apple? It makes sense, you totally defended that viewpoint, interesting indeed.
And I always thought Microsoft should buy Adobe. I mean, they keep trying replicate Photoshop and Flash, Adobe tried to replicate Flash before, and when they failed, they just bought Macromedia, and see them now.
Also, what's with those Windows Media monopoly suites, right - Microsoft should buy EU. It makes sense it should buy EU since they're already paying 2 million/day in penalties to EU, why rent EU when you can just buy it. In the longer term it comes cheaper, as anyone knows.
But I think also Adobe should buy Autodesk, you know, integrate Maya and 3DSMax with CS3? Movie studios will be all over that.
McDonalds should totally buy Roche or Pfizer, I mean with all the health troubles burgers cause, wouldn't it be great if they pre-injected them with medicines to help you lose fat?
NASA should buy CNN, NASA keeps complaining media coverage of their missions is very poor since people got used to them: well there you go, a perfect solution.
In the end, who's the richest guy though - Bill Gates. He should buy Earth and get over with it, since apparently it's where we're heading and why delay the inevitable.
