No, that's not true. Earlier in the year, Steve Jobs sold Pixar to Disney for 7 billion dollars. Steve Jobs still has quite a few shares, though

Yes, they did merge with Disney. Steve still serves on the board of directors and a new CEO has yet to be chosen. Therefore, technically Steve Jobs is still the CEO of Pixar.

Wow! I knew that Steve Jobs was the CEO because they didn't have one for PIXAR yet but i didn't know that he sold it for 7 billion dollars.

Granted though, he still is better than most CEO's.

I saw the movie yesterday and I have to say - man, it was really good! The graphics are just incredible and the storyline isn't too bad either. I took a bit of a drive to see it at a DLP theater with THX certification and it was pretty awesome. The outdoor shots of the landscape are super-realistic, they've really been improving their graphics capabilities!

Not related to the Pixar movie, but there was a real race car driving with the Apple logo, back in 1986.
It's a Porsche 934, a 911-based race car, you can see the old colored Apple logo behind the rear weel.

Sorry for the tiny pic, but didn't find a bigger one... :cool:
