Yea I have no clue when this happened.. and I don't have a story link.
But from what I heard in my CG class today, Disney is buying out Pixar for about 7 million (maybe billion, not sure).
So what does this have to do with Steve Jobs? .. oh, yeah. i forgot to mention that Steve Jobs is mixed in here. But, so Steve Jobs is now going to own part of Disney, not sure how that all works out; but I do know that he is the head of Pixar, or something like that.
This also means that Jobs will be on Disney's board of directors, cool, huh?
Also, apple knew that this would probably come about someday, so if you look at a G3 machine sideways, you can see that the 3 makes the ears of the mickey mouse head.
Alright. If anyone wants to google a story, sweet.

Disney is the corps "Family" movies, but if they decide to release something not really "Family" they label it Touchstone..
These corporations are getting to big, alot of them have more money and power then small or even mid sized countries.. They are not elected so they don't care what we as people have to say..

I'm glad, pixar movies are the cream of the cgi crop and that partnership was about to end. Now it won't have to.

Makes you wonder if it shouldn't be "Disney bought out by Steve Jobs".
