I know that Pixar news isn’t exactly Apple news, but it’s my damn site and I thought this was funny.
Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Jonro for the tip!

Hi Doc,
A friend of mine works at EMI music, and he just posted this pic up on facebook… Thought it might help fuel the Apple/ Beatles debate until we hear a real announcement today…
So, whaddya think?Thanks!

Steve Jobs buys Marvel : Adamantium MacBook imminent
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Slow News Day, Steve Jobs
Hey, I can dream, can’t I?
Looks like we’ll be seeing unibody adamantium MacBook in a matter months, as Disney (aka, Steve Jobs) has just bought Marvel Comics (home of the X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man…. all sort of big, beefy men, basically) for $4 Billion.
If I had $4 Billion I probably would have done the same thing, if for no other reason than to stop the upcoming Thor movie from being made. But given that Apple has more or less run out of sexy cat names for its OS versions, odds are the opportunities for cross-promotional synergy is what caught Steve’s eye.
I’d buy it.

In response to Apple’s 1 year app store celebration graphic, faithful Macenstein reader meggert writes: “didn’t you do something awhile back where you arranged a bunch of apps by color?”
Quite right, meggert. The day was July 29th, 2008, and I was so bored I arranged all my iPhone’s icons by color (see below).
Of course, I think now I pretty much have all 56,000 apps on the app store, so I could likely make an even more impressive rainbow, but I’m not into showboating.
This is not the first time Apple infringed on my amazingly original idea of icon arrangement. At WWDC this year Apple made a giant wall of icons, all sorted by color, and forgot to mention me.
Ummm… It’s not like they’re going to bury his albums with him guys
I have time and again admitted to not having a soul, but seriously, I don’t get this at all.
That right. How are the Black Eyed Peas on the charts?
No, seriously, why the big rush to buy Michael Jackson’s songs now that he’s dead? Are people planning to have massively depressing listening parties? Or was his death simply a reminder that he used to make music about 15-20 years ago?
