Maybe a merger back in the day, but now Disney would merely be an appetizer.

Plus, Pixar fare is/was more ‘creative’ than Disney offerings.

Not sure that Apple would want to be saddled with managing theme parks.

Almost had another Darwin Award candidate 

I’d be happy if I could just get LookAround for my neck of the woods.  Saw the Apple Chrysler minivans with cameras running around in 2015 and 6+ years later still nothing.

The updated Maps app looks nice and zooms in more but the 2D satellite image is older than the previous version.  

Maybe if/when Apple launches L5 Autonomous vehicles they can unleash them everywhere with cameras and finally be competitive with their Maps app.

I feel sorry for the average Chinese citizen, you know, the ~1.3B folks that have to breath dirty air; couldn’t have more than one kid, and now that they’re able to have more and are even being encouraged to do so they can’t afford it; live in fear of crossing the government and ending up in prison and/or as involuntary organ donors; living with the shame of the whole world knowing that your country blatantly steals technology because it would have been impossible to catch up; joining with fellow sickle and hammer Ruskie comrades for war games, etc etc.

Perhaps it’ll be good if their population halves.  Better for the environment, better for their standard of living in the long run.  700M people is still quite large.  

Intel and TSMC are investing heavily in new state of the art plants in Arizona.  I’m sure they’ve done the math and figured out they can make substantial profits producing in the U.S.

The U.S. is far from perfect but anyone defending the CCP is a fool.  At some point there will be a revolt, not just some guy symbolically standing in front of a tank.
