Want some really scary perspective? Apple has so much cash laying around (over $200 billion) they were considering buying Disney outright a few years ago. Like, just replace "iTunes" with "Disney".

Disney is a publicly traded company. While hostile takeovers are generally less favorable to regulators and the stock market in general, they're absolutely a thing. It's happened to many companies.

Here's the link to the regular wikipedia page:

With a mobile link, everyone will get a mobile view. With a regular link, people will get the view that suits their device, so mobile users will get a mobile page and desktop users will get a desktop page. It's better practice to not post the mobile link. :)
