Fortune features Apple

Apple is one of and the possibility of him taking Apple and Pixar to either Disney or Sony. The likelihood of either happening, the article concludes, is unlikely, as Jobs likes to be in control of his companies, something he'd have to sacrifice in part if he merged with a larger multifaceted entity.

No s***, Sherlock. I was just stating a fact to counter the obvious stupidity of the WMA protagonist. I know of no music download vendor that sells songs in either format that supports 5.1.

WMA

WMA is a trashy locked format, why the h*** would you call it "moving forward" for Apple to adopt it? AAC is controlled by an open standards body, which means it is not under the corporate control of any one company. WMA is.
