Did nobody notice the words "unconfirmed rumour" in the article?
As for the article, well companies buy others all the time and it doesn't necessarily mean that they will then get rid of them... sorry, silly me, it's the "Apple" thing again, you must love or hate them... can't we actually lose the irrational stupidity of the Apple haters vs lovers, it's long past being even boring...
Edit: Ah well, I see that was a waste of time just by looking at the next post...
