Six companies that Apple should (or maybe shouldn't) acquire right now
Last week I asked what companies, if any, Apple should be looking at buying out, and readers responded by posting a whole slew of ideas in the Forums. Potential acqusition suggestions ranged from the sentimental (Tivo) to the power play (Adobe and/or Macromedia) to the "fill the gaps in the product line" (Softpress/Freeway). Some reader recommendations have been echoing for years (Palm), while others fell into the "come to think of it, why doesn't Apple own that?" category (Maya).
Anyway, it's all a good read, whether you end up agreeing with any of the suggestions or not. You can find the "potential acquisitions" thread here.
What, you didn't know this site had Forums?
