Rumor: Apple interested in picking up EA?

I'm going to call this one a phony rumor, and a wishful dream at best for now, but many Mac Sites, along with the WSJ are reporting that Apple is eyeing EA for a takeover. Now there are several reasons why this would be incredibly stupid on EA's side of the deal.

1. EA Makes hardly any money off of Mac Software
2. EA Makes tons of money off of the PC, and Consoles
3. EA doesn't do many Mac Games

Now on Apple's side things are better, but i don't see this as a really possible rumor, but then again a rumor is a rumor.

New Sim Animals Screenshot

To the left you see a new Sim Animals screenshot released by EA. Personally i think they should have went with a more cartoony look seeing as how the "realistic" approach they are taking towards the graphics makes it look really... well poor in my personal opinion. The game releases for Wii and DS in January!
