New “Fun” products just might = Apple buying out Disney.

Steve is largest shareholder. This has been rumored in Brokerage circles. I wouldn’t be surprised. Apple hasn’t had enough time to bring to market new products (plural), but Disney would bring a slew of new products that Apple can brand.

Unfortunately you were wrong but then again I didn’t do much better. Check out my predictions.

I’m a big fan of the Mac Mini.  The Intel Mac Mini is undoubtedly an improvement, but it costs more and has that pesky little integrated Intel graphics, a feature Apple ridiculed as recently as least year when they rolled out the original Mac Mini.  Still, I’d probably get one if I were in the market for a new Mac.  At a glance, the new features seem to outweigh my hangups, but only just.

The new iPod HiFi claims to re-invent the home stereo, but it doesn’t even re-invent iPod speaker accessory.  And it costs $350!!  This is a product for the Apple nut who has everything else and his money is burning a hole in his pocket.

But the creme de la creme of Apple ridiculousness is that new leather case.  $100?  Are you kidding me?  It’s basically a leather version of the felt case that comes with your iPod for FREE.  $100??!!  That product is for SUCKERS.  But luckily for Apple, they have no shortage of those in their customer base.

Wouldn’t you bet this was concocted by the same people that brought you the iPod Sock.
