Pixar, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Disney, Time Warner, Viacom and oh yeah . . . Pixar

It’s amazing that when these two started they were a couple of geeks, now they are on “opposing” sides of the vast and increasingly homogenized media landscape.UPN and WB (Time Warner and Viacom) merge. Bill Gates is now on the side of Viacom, and Steve Jobs now on the side of Disney, huge, huge. With Bill’s new joint venture with MTV, the FCC getting ready to mandate technology and Steve’s new seat on the board at Disney, technology and content have achieved a monopolistic coup. Bravo.

“A PC on every desktop and every PC running Microsoft.”

Steve and Bill – Pals.

Say it with me: Monopolistic Consolodation. Thanks Bill Moyers.
