Why Apple Should Acquire Adobe

Posted by Zonk on from the maybe-one-day-they'll-care-about-games-too dept.

aabode writes "OSWeekly.com's Brandon Watts suggests that Apple should acquire Adobe. Why? 'While Apple has done a great job of developing media applications for beginners (the iLife suite is a good example of this), they could use a boost on the professional side. Granted, Final Cut Studio has become the standard when it comes to professional video editing, and Logic Studio is a great professional solution for editing audio, but what about the graphics and Web design segments of the market? If people want tools to support these interests on the Mac, then they turn to Adobe.'"

    I know what you mean, like who even cares about a hypothetical debate about what if one company buys out someone else.

    Cons: Adobe is very large, and has a lot of money. So they do not think basic rules apply to them. What I mean by this, is a lot of companies are running a tab on how much Adobe owes them, because Adobe doesn't bother to pay on time. I know they owe my company 70 million, I would hate to think how much they owe other companies... If Apple bought them I would think its because the execs at Adobe sees that their magic bubble is about to burst, and they have to flee with as much cash as they can...
