The buyout would be a stupid idea. What would Apple gain from it? A company that had every resource one could possibly imagine for competing with Apple but couldn't do so because of retarded management? Also, Apple doesn't want to own content. They only want to create the technology where content can be created and consumed. If Apple bought Sony, chances are they would sell off their movie and music business as well as the PlayStation brand and then keep their R&D departments for television and mobile devices. Then again, why would Apple want to do that when they seem to be doing fine on their own?
The only type of buyouts Apple is interested in are the buyouts of much smaller, lesser known companies that serve a specific purpose.
