The title is incorrect. According to the article: "The board of Pixar Animation Studios, the digital animations company, is set to meet tomorrow..." The article is making the assumption that the buyout will go through, but it has not occurred yet. If it had happened already, you would see it on Google News.
Could you not then use statistics as a means of gathering some information?
Say that you create one million pairs of entangled particles with random spin. You set the spin of one hundred of the particles and then measure the other one hundred paired particle on the other end. You can then discard those one hundred pairs and repeat the process with another hundred. This would mean setting once (while in a indeterminate state) then observing once.
This seems to fit with your explaination, but I am probably missing something.
This may be out of your price range, but Sandia Labs has a nice little machine they call the Cplant (Computational Plant). Its a cluster of about 500 linux boxes with supercomputer power. Its ranked 84th in the list of TOP500 Supercomputers in the world as of November 3rd.
