It’s official, superstar hip hop producer, Dr. Dre (PeekYou profile here), and music industry bigwig, Jimmy Iovine (PeekYou profile here), are now employees of Apple, Inc.; who’ve just purchased Beats Electronics, LLC (or Beats by Dre, if you will), for $3 billion.
On Thursday, rumors began to fly fast and furious that Apple is planning a $3.2 billion purchase of Beats Electronics, LLC; or Beats by Dre, to you and me.
