In the trade press and blogosphere, there is quite a bit of chatter concerning IBM and their apparent bid to purchase Sun. While I have read several articles on the topic, the best one, so far, comes from AppleInsider. Even the headline, "Apple partners IBM and Sun consider merger," tells you from which perspective the article will be taking.
For a view of what a possible IBM/Sun merger means for Apple, this article will work. Even if that doesn't interest you, the historical anecdotes between the three companies is worth your time. For example, the article references an ad that Apple ran when IBM entered the personal computer market, back in 1982:
Nice.

The prospects of the two companies merging together is particularly interesting given their histories of partnerships with Apple and the acquisition plans both drew up on more than one occasion during Apple's lowest points in the early and mid 90s.
