Oh I would love it!

Sony would be a smart buy. Sony is trying to catch up with the packaging. Sony has had argument's with Microsoft. SONY SONY SONY SONY!!!
There was a lot of talk, what, yesterday or something about the camera-in-an-iPad thing. Of course Apple could put a camera in the iPad. Obviously. [...] I think what's kept the camera out of the iPad is really simple: The user experience would suck.
It's hard enough to make yourself look like you want to look with a tiny camera behind a fish-eye lens, like the build-in camera on a Macbook Pro. Imagine trying to do that with an iPad. You'd have to either put it on a stand of some kind and arrange yourself awkwardly so the camera isn't pointing at a spot two inches above your head, or you'd have to hold it outstretched at a right angle to your face for the duration of the conversation.
I think Jobs (or Apple as a whole, maybe) decided that because it wasn't worth doing well, a camera in the iPad simply wasn't worth doing yet.
At this point, releasing new computers would be considered a big bold move.
Does anyone even buy the Apple TV? I've always thought that was the result of some bet Jobs made while drunk or high (probably high). It's kind of the red headed step child of the Apple family
I guess that would make the MacPros the child that Apple sends off to some expensive boarding school - only to be seen once every 14 months or so.![]()
p.s. MSFT already owns a piece of AAPL
Think about all the thing's they would gain...
Sony is a stable company, like you said they do make lot's of thing's, BLURAY FOR MAC!!!! Sony Display's... Think about it there computer's could be all made with there part's instead of a Matisha DVD drive and LG display???![]()
Sony also is a somewhat midrange to upper end Computer it would fit in AMAZINGLY!!! Sony also has a good customer service and make's some fairly good Quality Product's...They have a pretty good track record.
You can not say Sony is not a Smart Buy. Think of all the rumor's you heard about the gaming system's and all that. Sony has experience with that. They battle with Microsoft. PS3 vs. Xbox 360 is just as big as Mac vs. PC
Starbucks + Apple users: how original. You're running out of material.![]()

Agreed. No more toys, need better computers.
Ha! I'm sure you're kidding as am I but that would be iMazing......perhaps even syncing/docking one's iPhone to said iCar would launch a multitude of functionalities within the car as well as starting the car itself. What if it had Airport technology built-in? Sales folks could effectively close deals from the road in their new mobile office on macbook pros or iPads that utilize cloud-based applications. Come to think of it, an iCar would nicely round-out their product line as a "mobile devices company". Now that would be "big and bold"

Buy Tesla?
Someone suggested that in the conference call and steve jobs laughed at him
Yeah, well, he has laughed at other things. Or downright denied them...
Like...
CELLPHONES!
(I'm sure there are other examples)
I wonder how many people who list their Apple kit in their sigs spend time at Starbucks? I would bet that there's a strong
correlation.
The only drawback would be that you couldn't drive the icar while talking on your iPhone. That would require multitasking.![]()
No stronger a correlation than to suggest that those who flaunt their sexuality in their sigs likely speak with a lisp - but that would be unfairly discriminatory, wouldn't it?
Actually, I agree completely. I posted almost exactly the same points a few days ago in another thread speculating about the front-facing camera, but the guys there laughed me off. It's pretty obvious that Apple DID experiment with the camera -- the circuitry and the case are both prepared to accept the camera module, and the software evidently supports it. So why not connect the dots? Because clearly someone decided it was better not to have it, and I think that's what separates Apple from every other tech company out there. Everyone else would have put the camera in, so they'd have one more bullet point on the sales sheet. Never mind that the user experience would be crappy. It takes guts for someone to say to the customer, "no, trust me, you really don't want this." Not every customer appreciates that, either, at least not initially.
i sincerely think sony is bigger than apple
