The newspaper, citing sources familiar with the deal, said it was unclear how Apple planned to use the firm but that it could be related to Apples new streaming music service. Apple did not specifically comment on the report, but a spokeswoman said in a statement: Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans.
