Bloomberg published a story this weekend on how an Apple-Sony merger makes a lot of sense. It doesn't. Let's see if we can't break down each argument point by point:
adding insult to injury, Apple Inc. continues to hold the spotlight. It really is one of the great business stories of the past 50 years. Sony, the inventor of the Walkman, ceded its leadership in portable music players to Apple's iPod and continues to lose ground.
It really makes you wonder why Apple Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs doesn't just buy Sony.
It can't. Sony is worth over $45 billion - about the same as Yahoo! which also isn't possible for Apple to purchase (and might make more sense).
