Here's just 1 story re: that from May 9th

Here's a timeline of events that states the deal surfaced on may 8th and was later confirmed via the video and tweet

As I thought, no sources named. It's all "Reports allege".

Wanna take the wager? $100?

Happy to put in Escrow.

rumor or not he's still rich.

I was replying to your claiming the original report I read was due to the tweet, it was not. Those links and others support that.

multi billion dollar deal rumors don't make it to this level based on vapor.

Who knows now what Apple will do, they could easily walk away just based on the negative publicity around it.

So, do you want to put up $100 or not?

rephrase please. I'm saying they could walk away from the purchase, not stop carrying Beats products in the stores.

What do you think Dre would bring to Apple?

I can TOTALLY see Iovine being of use as an Exec there, but Dre? He is just a name on the product. (But Iovine is not worth them spending $3 billion).

I'm shooting the shit about a totally trivial matter and out of the blue you start talking wager with some sort of expectation that I'm supposed to participate, I respectfully declined. There's nothing much to think about.

I asked you what you thought Dre would bring to Apple. You post a link that doesn't mention anything Dre would bring to apple, but says Iovine would be good. Which is what I said.

You're not very good at this, are you?

His skills are producing, rapping and finding new artists.

How do you think that would be of any use to Apple. Especially $3b worth of use.

Think about it. What does the company have? Some *really* shit, plastic, ugly headphones. No use to apple. A failed streaming service. No use to Apple. Iovine? Some use to Apple to free up the staff doing the deals with the labels.

None of those things are worth $3b.

Apple traditionally buy small companies for the staff, acqHIREs, as they are known.

I just cannot see what Beats has that is worth that money to Apple. Added to which, Apple keep their cash overseas for tax reasons. Beats is a US company.

Good marketer but still a "Studio Gangsta"

What Beats now has is $3 billion dollars of Apple's money.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Apple has confirmed they are buying Beats for $3 billion.
