Steve Jobs and NSA Spying

Strange topic? Sometimes I. Cringley is very eclectic.

No, not about phone and wire-tapping -- more on that below -- but on the Disney-Pixar merger. What if, instead of having to accept the board presence of Steve Jobs as a cost of getting Pixar's animation talent and film library, Disney actually views the transaction as buying Pixar TO GET Steve Jobs and then gaining the animation bits as a bonus?

Could you take on corporate giants and be successful? Me neither, but Steve Jobs can.
