I'd love for Apple to acquire either Adobe or Luxology. Adobe probably wouldn't fly in court, but Luxology is definitely a doable option. They're a small group of very smart and innovative people who have created a fantastic mainstream product that works beautifully on OS X.

Really, though, does anybody honestly believe that money isn't being used? It's great for both business deals and managing their share prices. It forces companies to play level with Apple, and it assures that they have a backup R&D powerhouse should a product line fail or a recession happen.
