APPLE RUMOURS, UPDATES AND CHANGES
At the end of last week I was looking at Mac photography apps for this column, when times put out a rumour that Apple was in negotiations with Beats Music, makers of Dr Dre headphones.
This threw the financial world into something of a turmoil, with the figure cited being a hefty $3.2 billion. Many IT commentators were similarly hard pressed to come up with theories. Even those who usually have the best handle on Apple were at a loss to see the purpose behind the acquisition, if indeed it goes through.
