A strange inability to comment

This is one of those mornings when it seems almost impossible to add anything to the sheer wealth of stuff that’s already been said, so on the big issues of the day I have only this: if you think Yahoo! is actually giving up on search based on one quote taken out of context, you’re actually being stupid (shame on you Steve Rubel and well said Caterina Fake and Thomas Hawk), and the most exciting suggestion I’ve seen about Disney buying Pixar is the possibility of a link-up between ESPN and iTunes – but that’s because I’m guilty of forgetting that Disney is buying Pixar, not Apple. They ain’t the same, people, and if Jobs lets Apple get tied in to one Hollywood studio above all others he’ll be making a big mistake.

And on Google’s decision to cooperate with the Chinese government I am so profoundly conflicted that it makes my head hurt.
