QuikQuote: Barron's on Saturday said it's possible that Apple could make a bid to buyout Disney after CEO Steve Jobs becomes the legendary entertainment firm's largest shareholder.
Jobs, who is the CEO of computer animation business Pixar as well as Apple, will own 7% of Disney after that firm's agreement to acquire the maker of movies like Toy Story and Finding Nemo.
"I think he has an open option," Barron's quoted analyst Christopher Whalen, a New York-based managing director of Institutional Risk Analytics. "Disney is badly undervalued right now. Jobs might get an opportunity to take it out."

I saw that article earlier, but it doesn't even rise to the level of rumor. It is purely wild speculation on the part of one analyst. I think he is describing a rather unlikely transaction.

To what, I wonder?? LOL! Maybe I should trademark it first...

Yeah, seems like pure speculation and only a good choice for Apple if they're pretty much giving up on the computer industry to move into the content/distribution industry (owning Disney is a very good match for iTunes, not so much for PowerBooks).

Sounds like me someone was thinking out loud and Barron's had some empty space to fill.
