Cringely's only real claim to street cred is that he was one of the earliest Apple employees, but that's all water under a long-ago bridge.
Still, I would love for SOME major computer-related company to consume either a media-content company such as a Hollywood studio (Sony/Columbia/whatever doesn't count, they wouldn't know what to do with a divining rod if you gave them one, and they had one) or a content delivery company, preferably a major cable company. Because the converse (Comcast/NBC) is happening and that's not gonna taste good.
