Cringely has more thoughts on the Disney/Pixar merger, particularly how Steve Jobs is masterminding the whole thing:
If Robert Iger (CEO of Disney) creates a miracle at Disney, which I think he will, that miracle is Steve Jobs. We're in a new century with new realities, but we haven't yet found a new archetype for enlightened corporate power. Bill Gates? Give me a break! What we have are people in power who have no muse and wouldn't recognize one if they could even hear her. Steve Jobs knows his muse.
It's fascinating to me to think of someone like Steve Jobs, a man who's always touted "smaller is better," having input at a mega-conglomerate like Disney. I don't suppose the two ideologies can co-exist peacefully. I just wonder who will eat whom first.
yeah... kind of "make up your mind" what do you actually think... huh... i think smaller is better and I think smaller is more important when multi-million dollar companies sell so much that seems like important stuff... that even makes the smaller better... wierd...
