Apple’s (supposed) shopping spree
Thursday, May 7th, 2009
It seems you can’t go more than about a week before a rumor surfaces that says “Apple in talks to by [X]“, with [X] being whatever company is hot and not already owned by Apple, Google, or Microsoft. The lastest target is Twitter. Rumor has it Apple is “seriously considering” purchasing the microblogging service. But as Fortune Magazine puts it in black-and-white; What Apple has been rumored to purchase, and what they’ve actually bought, are two completely different things.
