Jobs: digital media mogul

The New York Times says that ," noting that Jobs has "been built on his ability to anticipate the public's appetite for technical innovation...Indeed, one of Mr. Jobs's strategic strengths may be his understanding of the limits of technology. Some industry executives have wondered whether Mr. Jobs's breaking off the Disney negotiations was partly a prelude to efforts to take the top job at a Hollywood company - maybe even Mr. Eisner's job."

Jobs at Disney? No way

I think it's far more likely that this is the straw that breaks shareholder confidence in Eisner's management. Eisner gets booted out by a new CEO on a Pixar-friendly platform, Pixar is more amenable to striking a realistic deal since they won't get a third chance. Since the deal doesn't expire until 2006, there's still some time for all this to play out, meanwhile Pixar can pursue competitive bids at their leisure. Probably a lot will depend on how well Chicken Little does compared to Incredibles.

You have a company, which in its early days was desparate to get known, and a distribution deal with Disney was obviously a good thing. Now, Pixar are successful enough to be known through the industry so as to cut their own deals, and handle their own distribution. Although the current relationship expires in 2006, Pixar need to sort out the subsequent years now because they need to plan future projects, and decide how they are going to handle business post 2006.

A bunch of jews...

For everyone who doesn't know this Eisner is jewish and the FACT is he has been part of a movement for Israel to gain world power. Hence the reason that Buena Vista has been distributing p*** ever since Eisner started, and the same reason that many Disney movie that have reach the public had either p*** images as subliminal frames (several movies) or p*** related within the cover of the video or DVD. Do the research online and be amazed...

Well the Apple Computer isn't the only party that wants to exploit abused children, on this most of American of Sundays. MoveOn made a submission, also featuring children, but found itself rejected because it was deemed to represent a 'special interest group'. We're not sure what vacuum these arbites of public taste live in. But with three of the four constituents of the entertainment industry - consumers, device manufacturers and artists - eager to discuss fairer compensation models, it's hard to see any other conclusion than that the RIAA is a very, very special interest group indeed.

There's more. Suburban pub-rock 'punks' Green Day recorded a version of I Fought The Law And The Law Won for the occasion, to provide a soundtrack for the pigopolist lobby group.

And how reputations crumble. Twenty years ago, let's not forget, Apple used a Superbowl TV intermission to introduce its iconographic Macintosh computer with the image of an athlete smashing Big Brother. The easy-to-use computer proved to be a liberating tool for personal creativity and with Adobe's Postscript and Aldus' software, created the desktop publishing industry. Now the same Apple is endeavoring to reduce personal freedoms by ushering in a regime where the recording industry enforces copyright with Big Brother's iron fist.

The exercise will be lost on the children of Apple founder Steve Jobs, however. He wisely doesn't allow his kids to watch TV, or drink sickly sodas, advocating Odwalla's excellent fruit juices instead. Do as he does, not as he says, we suggest.

Don't mind the pinhead ranting about Jooooooooooooooooos! These people have nothing better to do.

And yeah, Steve's the very model of a modern media mogul.

MoveOn is a POLITICAL special interest. The Super Bowl isn't the forum for political debate. THAT's why they didn't take MO's ad. Apple's ad might be partisan, but it's not about politics.

And the Reg. have always been a little looney when it comes to Apple's DRM. They claim it's "forced down peoples throat" but I've never found it to be troublesome in any way, shape or form. I copy music to and from my iPod with ease, and I won't pay to download their music simply because I'm not paying for an inferior-to-the-CD copy without simultaneously getting the actual CD.

Well,

Jewish p*** for world domination. "What about the children?"
Yeah, well,..er...The internet is secretly controlling my mind and the CIA launched a satelite with my name on it. What about that? HUH? HUH? Why wasn't THAT featured on the superbowl??

Pixar is just trying to get the best deal for distro. If someone wakes up in a really really bad mood they might consider a Disney takeover ala AOL.

Re: A bunch of jews..

So, let me get this straight, Disney is run by Jews who are thriving for Israel to dominate the world, and they are implementing this strategic goal by- displaying p*** images in their cartoons?

HAHAHA, ok, WTF does p*** images have to do with 1) jews, 2) jew domination, 3) world domination 4) Israel? What a freaking moron, haha. If you are going to be a racist a****** then at least have a convincing argument. Not sure if you are muslim or a redneck but your anti-Semitic rhetoric is laughable.
