Disney and Pixar merging ??? That is great news for Disney, but is it for Pixar shareholders ?
Disney stands to gain from Pixars technology as well as from the fact that Steve Jobs will now
get on the board and thereby help a technologically challenged bohemoth to move to the internet
age. Definitely this should ease Disney's copyright concerns as I expect Jobs to weigh in heavily
on this issue.
I also see Apple now getting a lot more content on its Video iPod. Its a win for Apple. Is it a win
for Pixar ? Is it a win for Disney ? A lot of questions here ..don't u think ?
Atleast this merger makes a lot more sense than the whole AOL/Time Warner crap a few years ago.

Disney looks beyond iTunes
By Reuters

Walt Disney has sold 1.5 million digital downloads of such TV titles as "Lost," "Desperate Housewives" and "Kim Possible" through Apple Computer's iTunes store, and is seeking iTunes competitors to further such distribution, an executive said Wednesday.
"Other companies with on-demand products will feature some of our content in the near future," chief financial officer Tom Staggs said at an investor event hosted by Atlantic Equities.
While the iTunes initiative "has not been a giant mover in terms of the bottom line," Staggs said, it is "an important catalyst for where the business is going."
He said that Disney will remain "platform agnostic," demanding only that potential partners provide a "quality consumer experience and requisite intellectual property protection."
