Jim, Upside News included this interesting take on recent rumors. Ignore the snide tone and read between the lines" "Apple's Thinking Different, All Right Interim (yeah, right) CEO Steve Jobs believes Apple's next insanely great idea is ... portable and TV settop boxes. Apparently the company's two good quarters (my boldface) have gone to his head. The entertainment "Columbus" device will offer Internet access (think WebTV, only without the proprietary server software) along with music CDs and DVD movies. But really, this is a totally different beast from Apple's failed Pippin venture (sold as an orphan to Bandai). While an easy-to-use, low-cost computing and entertainment device sounds good, Apple's hardly the first with this brainwave: Other companies, including Microsoft and Sony, are developing similar Internet appliances.--IB" Is a great Q2 a done deal? Is this the market sentiment? I hope the analysts don't keep raising the bar like last quarter, so we fail again. Dirk

Disney - AAPL connection: this has nothing to do with Pixar, except for Jobs being CEO of both companies. The story going around is Disney was sold on the idea of the AMP and saw it as a good device for selling more content. AAPL is supposed to be late with AMP, or mucking around with the terms of the licensing, or something, and Disney is pissed off because they want the AMP out, and they want it out now. Good coverage of the AMP on "As The AppleTurns" (seriously). infoxczar.com -Russ
