Apple Said to Acquire Color

"High double digits" seems like a lot to pay for color.com and @color (although it is a great domain and handle).

Maybe they have some really cool patents that they can use to sue Samsung or Google for $500 million and make the acquisition a net profit.

They do have some patent for HD video, battery, and more. Up to 6 is what I've read.

Considering it likely has double digit millions of dollars left in the bank, sounds low.

Are you valuing all their employees combined at zero?

I've talked to some of their more critical engineers.

They're bailing ASAP. It's a shit-show there (at Color).
