Jobs To Become Number-Two Man at Disney?

Post by Maerj »

This is from imdb.com:


Jobs To Become Number-Two Man at Disney?



Steve Jobs, the chairman of both Apple Computers and Pixar Animation, may be offered a position in the Walt Disney Co. that would make him second-in-command to Michael Eisner, according to the New York Post, which said that at the least, Jobs might be offered a position on Disney's board. Some analysts, however, scoffed at the notion of the two men being able to work closely together, noting that a year ago, Eisner criticized Apple's "Rip.Mix.Burn" campaign for its iTunes product as an effort to promote piracy. Disney and Pixar are currently in renegotiations over a production/distribution deal, and Jobs has threatened to chuck Pixar's deal with Disney unless it can be substantially improved.

If this is true, then I think it's another bad decision by Eisner. In some respects I with Disney would just let Pixar go and concentrate on their own films. I predict that if Jobs is appointed, it will only lead to more troubles in the near future.


See I can critisise Eisner! :)
