I have this funny feeling Steve Job could bankrupt Apple because of his arrogance and greed.

Steve Jobs is not LKY/LHL/Ho Ching, he has a track record of successes: Next, Pixar, Apple,.. The US is facing one of the worst recessions & yet Apple shares are at a record high.

While LKY/LHL/Ho Ching are well known for their misteps & even if investments are successful , how much of the profits are skimmed off for bonuses/perks/benefits

Apple has US$51 billion in surplus cash. While Temasek lost US$40, $50, $60 billion,... of taxpayers money

Why would Sony want to use Apple OS? The business world runs on MS OS so that is where the market is.

Furthermore, Sony laptops have a strong industrial design element to it like Apple.

Apple have been using their own OS for their laptops. Steve Jobs doesn't like Windows OS. If they takeover Sony, would he negotiate to Microsoft to use their OS for Sony laptops?

It's funny because Steve Jobs has been making fun of Windows all these years.

It will never happen, Sony laptops will change to Mac OS, which is good for Mac users, and I'm sure the design of Sony laptops will get better :p
