Might be time to start including market caps of the big 6 Hollywood studios in that list. I’m now convinced Steve’s long-term plan is to “close the loop” on Apple’s vertical integration by buying some or all of the major content studios w/ that $40+ BILLION pile of cash (and growing >$16B per year).
For example, market cap of #1 studio Time Warner (TWX) is ~$35B – so Apple could just about offer a reasonable all-cash tender offer already.
I know that’d split Apple’s focus. I hear you. I just feel like some days he’s gotta say to himself:
“$#@! it – I’m tired of negotiating w/ these guys – I’m going to single-handedly transition the world to a sane content-aquisition business model tomorrow.”

@shareholder opinion
Please no. Lower price means greater instability.

Jobs (with the rest of the sane world) has got to feel that way everyday. But owning media conglomerates would be shackles on Apple’s ankles (and wrists, and neck…)
