So I've got a not-so modest proposal: Time for Apple to jump in with both feet, and buy HBO — along with the rest of Warner Bros.
I know, I know: "Apple should buy X, Y or Z" is a long-running piece of techworld fanfic.
But now I think Apple should spend real money and buy WBD.
And then, boom: Apple's services business — the part of the company Apple needs to keep growing while its hardware business slows — instantly grows by nearly 50%.
