Who would’ve known that one of the members of N.W.A. would be working for Apple and while the other one is the star of family comedy movies such as Are We There Yet? and Are We Done Yet?.
Apple to Acquire Beats Music & Beats Electronics
From Apple PR:
CUPERTINO, California—May 28, 2014—Apple® today announced it has agreed to acquire the critically acclaimed subscription streaming music service Beats Music, and Beats Electronics, which makes the popular Beats headphones, speakers and audio software.

Now that it is officially confirmed, we all can argue about the correct pronunciation of “Iovine”.
Apple seeds OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Build 13E9
Apple seeds OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Build 13E9 to developers on Wednesday, May 28, 2014.
Apple is expected to preview the successor to OS X Mavericks at WWDC this coming June 2, 2014. Should Apple follow the current naming convention it would be called:
OS X 10.10
Pronunciation: OS Ten Ten point Ten
That’s a lot of tens.
What if it would be released on October 10, 2014?
Apple to Live Stream WWDC 2014 Keynote
Apple announced that WWDC 2014 Keynote will be streamed live at 10:00 am on Monday June 2, 2014.
One can assume that Apple has one big announcement at WWDV 2014.
According to firstnameatappledotcom, key Apple employees have been spending extra time this year at Foxconn factory in China; hinting at possible introduction of new hardware at WWDC 2014.
Another hint from firstnameatappledotcom:
“Consider the resolution scaling in MacBook Pro with Retina Display in the next iPhone.”
Care to guess what it is?
