Really? That would be pretty big. I read that Apple has like $50 billion to spend, how much would it cost to buy 51% of Sony's shares? Anybody out there knows?

$17.26 billion at Sony's current share price.

Oh man, Apple could very well do it then. I figure they'd be interested on Sony's TVs and the PS brand besides like a million patents. There would still be money enough for them to aim at IBM for instance...

I think IBM is a bit more out of reach than Sony :)   IBM's market cap is currently $174 billion.
