Opportunity for AAPL to buy Palm? >Sagawa also told StockHouse he would advise Eric Benhamou, CEO of 3COM, "I would be telling him he has four separate pieces of his business that are not drawing any synergies from one another and are actually pulling his management attention in diametrically opposing directions - that shareholders would be best served by breaking the company into four-piece parts." Asked if the Palm division were spun off as an IPO, Sagawa responded, "I think it would best for shareholders - there is no synergy between Palm and the rest of its businesses."< stockhouse.com AAPL not mentioned per se, but those rumored to be interested in acquiring COMS have no use for Palm.

QuickTime 4.0 taps into Net's richest vein: images. >Apple just "staked a claim," to use gold miners' parlance, to what could be the richest vein of that gold rush that is the Internet. The nuggets of the Internet are the things you can download such as photos, music, entertainment, movies, educational materials, virtual reality views, or anything else people want to view. The curse of the Internet is that most of the really interesting things to see take a disproportionate amount of time to download, and often require many different "plug-in" programs. Even then, these nuggets are often fool's gold, as in "tiny and jerky" or "incomplete and disappointing." But what if there were a technology that would allow you to download a movie and view it full-screen while it was downloading -- without waiting and without skips and jerks?< uniontrib.com
