Rumor Mill: IBM to Buy Apple?


Remember in the days of yore, when Apple buyout rumors were as common as updates to Mac OS 7.5? Sometimes we long for those days, which is why a one-line report from mysterious site JAGNotes.com can warm our hearts. Apple Turns caught the story, released Friday, suggesting IBM is about to offer $45/share for Apple. Did Apple’s once-nemesis IBM catch wind of last week’s revalation that OS X’s BSD roots made it a more popular desktop UNIX OS than LINUX? Will we be seeing “Peace. Love. OS X Server.” billboards soon? Of course not — not likely anyway! But rumors based in fact are so much less fun. Feel free to click that feedback link and begin wildly speculating about what BlueApple would be like.
