„"After 10 months of trying to strike a deal with Disney, we're moving on" Steve Jobs, CEO of Pixar, said in a news release. According to the New York Times, Pixar's movies have grossed "$2.5 billion at the worldwide box office and sold more than 150 million DVD's and videos," making it one of the most financially successful studios of all time, since each of its five movies so far has been a blockbuster. The movies have also been acclaimed, both with fans as well as critics, and have garnered several Oscars and various other prizes.“

„If you were Comcast and you acquired Disney, what would you do following the merger? If the market thinks the management has become inefficient, what is a more efficient way to run Disney? Does Comcast want to own or have the expertise to own the entire catalog of projects that Disney has?“http://profhurtlaw.typepad.com/mucorplaw/2004/04/ lingering_quest_4.html - Cached
„Indeed, as Presidential candidates have been trooping through Iowa, New Hampshire, Missouri, and beyond, a whole different set of campaigners have been trolling for ballots among shareholders of Walt Disney (DIS). This vote will take place not at the polls but at Disney's annual shareholder meeting on Mar. 3 in Philadelphia, and at stake is Chairman Michael Eisner's continued stewardship of the DisneyEmpire.On one side in this battle are former Disney board members Roy Disney and Stanley Gold, who have been pitching their platform to institutional shareholders in New York, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere in an attempt to get them to sign up for their dump-Eisner campaign.“http://uk.news.yahoo.com/040209/244/elk7e.html - Cached
„: I am increasingly worried about an assumption made by both proponents and detractors of "Americanisation", that is, that products are self-evidently significant and easy to understand parts of processes whereby culture is transmitted and transmuted. KFC and McDonalds seem pretty much ubiquitous now across much of the the UK, but I am not convinced that they are necessarily promoting a specifically American cultural agenda, anymore than'fish and chips' in the USA is part of some longstanding attempt to return that country to the British Empire. Cultures have long been receptive to certain aspects from abroad but have been remarkably resilient to any cultural strings that might be offered.“http://www.uclan.ac.uk/amatas/board/messages/ 31.htm - Cached
„But in her online diary, she began writing explicitly about these encounters, or those of her friends, and on July 26 described her brief and apparently unsatisfying liaison outside a restaurant with a famous guitarist in a Guangzhou rock band. The entry was posted at a popular online discussion board, spread among China's "netizens" like wildfire and was quickly picked up in the gossipy newspapers that feed China's growing celebrity culture. Eventually, she was featured in China's edition of Cosmopolitan magazine.“http://boingboing.net/2003_11_01_archive.html - Cached

„THE pop-culture news du jour certainly is the end of the Pixar-Disney relationship. Although perhaps a strategic move on Pixar's part, this seems to certainly be the end of their relationship (after they finish out their contract with Disney with the next two movies The Incredibles (releasing this Fall) and Cars (2005)).“http://www.thinkingink.com/michael/mdblog/ 2004_01_01_archive.html - Cached
