Apparently and they're also looking into Sony and it's speculated it could also range from franchises from Facebook to Adobe it would seem.

Interesting, though it's a bit vague.
(Or what to say, not that i know very much about this sort of stuff.)

EDIT: That info from CVG that was mentioned, some details about Bungie and Microsoft.

Hahaha it'd be awesome if they bought adobe and renamed flash. "No we don't support flash, and we never will. We do support flosh, however." Very Happy

Apple have $51 billion, sony's value is capped at $40 billion.. so yes they can buy sony if they like.

But would they? After that purchase they would be left with only $10 billion, that would leave them with too little (what is the word I am looking for) for any serious issues that might pop up from the purchase.
