Mmmm, Apple taking over EA...I wonder what the hell that Steve Jobs is thinking.
I thought he was sick?
Well, maybe he's in bed right now thinking "Must.....stop.....Apple....before.....we.....turn.....into.....a...gam...ing....company.".

That or he's probably wondering something else. That comment wasn't intended for the business of Apple. I was just wondering if Steve Jobs had a thought on that. Although, I do wish him a recovery. His presentations are made quite well.

Apple's shares are almost double that of EA's, so they do have the nuts to pull it off, but I highly doubt EA shareholders would allow it. They'd drive the price of EA's stock so high, Apple wouldn't have much left in the coffers to do anything else, like actually make games let alone maintain their day to day business in other areas.

Edit: Oops! I didn't realize this story was written in May. I saw it in the "Related Content" area at the bottom after I read Apple dissed the PSP and DS.

EA: Damn, Apple's thinking of buying us. We can't let that happen.
EA2: Well, what do we do?
EA: Release a couple more sports games, Battlefield BC 2 and BF3, and let Bioware to do their thing. We'll be able to buy and sell Apple before #$%^$%6ing March 2010.
