Talk is abound about how Jobs has a conflict of interest because he is head of a media company and a computer company. His media company makes computer based movies. If there is a conflict of interests, its likely because either the media industry is broken or the computer industry is broken. They _should_ be able to work together considering most hollywood movies are nothing more then special effects bonazas. Being this is Disney and Eisner we are talking about, I think the media industry is likely the broken one. If you take into account Disney's drop in quality over the past several years, it nails down that argument for me. Disney has not made anything I've been interested in seeing for a long time now. Walt has rolled over in his grave at least 10 times now.. Or his head has turned around in the pool of liquid nitrogen.. Whatever..
