Pixar Dumps Disney

While not Mac related, many readers have been reporting on Pixar's announcement yesterday that they have ended talks with Walt Disney.

Walt Disney and Pixar have been partnered for distribution of Pixar's previous films, but Pixar has been seeking full ownership in their future films. Under their current deal, Disney will still distribute Pixar's next two films (The Incredibles and Cars).

Steve Jobs is both CEO of Apple as well as Pixar:

"After ten months of trying to strike a deal with Disney, we're moving on," Pixar CEO Steve Jobs said in a statement. "We've had a great run together -- one of the most successful in Hollywood history -- and it's a shame that Disney won't be participating in Pixar's future successes."
