RUMOR: Apple in talks to acquire German HDTV maker Loewe – May 12, 2012
There goes that fantasy…
haha .. you took the words out of my mouth!
Acquiring Sony gets cheaper every day 😉
I think I’ve read somewhere that the Japanese won’t allow or there are regulations in place against foreigners to gain controlling share of a company like Sony.
Not good news here if true… however, its easy to deny when there’s a pay off to keep things hush hush. And after all, there was no name mentioned as to who the ‘SPOKESMAN’ was Loewe.
Sounds as if someone is covering up a leak.
“An den Angaben sei “überhaupt nichts dran”, erklärte ein Loewe-Sprecher am Sonntag.”
“absolutely nothing to it,” a spokesman said on Sunday Loewe.
“German TV maker Loewe has today officially denied rumours of a $113 million buyout…”
As per the NDA.
We’ll just have to ‘wait and see’ what happens.
Oh, so this was:
ANOTHER STUPID APPLE RUMOR!
So does Ethel, but it’s on the hush hush.
I hoe this is a “CYA” denial, I was pretty excited about this particular rumor.
Hope
If we all hope, and join in forces letting the important people know what we are hoping for, we can make it happen
(even the blocked legislation)
No denial of a $114 million dollar offer, though.
“absolutely nothing to it” does not necessarily mean the same as absolutely untrue.
