I'd still prefer Apple buy Tivo. I worked at ninemsn, Australia's number one portal with Ch9 the number 1 TV station, and operationally there are alot of benefits. ninemsn took 10 years of organic growing/pain though : Infoseek-Go.com Part II ? : "I think he has an open option," Barron's quoted analyst Christopher Whalen, a New York-based managing director of Institutional Risk Analytics. "Disney is badly undervalued right now. Jobs might get an opportunity to take it out."
