The most amazing thing in these rumors is how dumb they appear to me.
Not sure if it says more about rumors or me.
Either way I see no point for Apple in buying Sony, or Facebook. What for???
Does someone just pick a random name from the list of companies that are affordable to Apple and starts to speculate on that?
The other thing I cannot wrap my head around is stock markets. The silliest thing influence them, that sure does not leave a good impression on me. Maybe it's just me.
Not to imply that I think it's likely, but Sony DOES have something that Apple might benefit from: manufacturing. Don't forget, Sony makes quite a few semiconductor products -- including, for example, the sensors in Nikon's digital SLRs.
Overall though, I agree with the prevailing opinion, that it's pretty unlikely.
