Apple SHOULD have bought VPC and Palm. Apple should also spin off a wholey owned subsidiary that makes custom Mac gaming machines, like Falcon Northwest!
It would be a small market, but at the prices some gamers play, it would be like a skunk works that pays for its own R&D and it would give tech to the Mac group as it is developed. Being a separate company it wouldn't really affect Apple's bottom line and it wouldn't significantly take from its current market. It would be Apple's answer to Dell buying Alienware.

Apple should have bought the Mac graphics that Corel bought, and then just sold, such as Painter, Bryce, etc.
They should also have bought Macromedia. If nothing but to have owned Flash.

Hear, hear on the Painter and Bryce. Think of the creative bundles they could have BTO!!! Not to mention fitting those apps into workflows with Shake, motion and a future 3D workspace environment for the continued explosion of cg video that is going to be happening for the next few decades. Natural media graphics as a complement to Maya, like Aperture is to Photoshop.
As for Macromedia ... I still feel sad about that, though I bet Adobe would be even more standoff-ish had Apple added those programs to its own suite. Apple would be going so far into supporting Wintels at that point. But think of Flash and QTime together!!! Goodbye Real!

You dug deep to pick up this thread. If you had looked at any of the current tablet threads you would know that Intel is likely out of contention and that ARM Cortex is the rumored replacement.
