Uh, that was part of the joke. Perhaps too subtle. (The idea that ego 
supercedes everything, including money. As they say, all humor reflects 
truth - what reason does Apple have in eliminating Windows support? 35% is 
a lot of user base, and $$$. It's a comparison. Apple seems willing to "buy 
a company and dismiss 35% of their profit [potential]." That's what was 
supposed to make the joke funny...)

(OK, did anyone catch the "Jr." part?)

I suppose I shouldn't post the "Intel Acquires Native Instruments" release?
