| Disney-Apple deal stokes hopes for Pixar tie-up
A television distribution deal between Apple Computer Inc. and Walt Disney Co. that brought together CEOs Steve Jobs and Bob Iger on Wednesday stoked expectations that a separate agreement between Disney and Jobs's Pixar Animation Studios Inc. is at hand. Pixar (PIXR.O: Quote, Profile, Research) shares rose as much as 3.7 percent, rebounding from a sell-off in the media sector, after Iger and Jobs appeared on stage together to announce that Disney (DIS.N: Quote, Profile, Research) unit ABC would sell TV programs through Apple's (AAPL.O: Quote, Profile, Research) iTunes Web site for viewing on computers and its new video iPod device.
