i dont know what to think of that. first their arguing, now they want to talk deal.

personally, i think its a good [business] move for them. altho that would make steve jobs considerably richer....
but disney have been releasing Pixar's films for sometime now, so its fitting to buy them.

some people are saying its a bad thing, some are saying its a good thing..

I thought Pixar wanted to venture out to do other things besides Disney stuff.

Actually, pixar once belonged to ILM under a different name and Steve Jobs bought out the company and renamed it Pixar.
And I don't think Pixar ever belonged to Disney, they just had contracts for movies I believe.

Oh and for your information, I once worked for Steve Jobs guarding his Porter Pottie and car. I think he had a cheaper Mercedes I recalled. For a guy so rich, at th time I wonder why he didnt have a much better car??
