A Dozen Apple Acquisitions that Didn’t Happen →

Harry McCracken for The Technologizer on the recent rumour about Apple buying Twitter for $700 million:

People love to talk about Apple buying other famous companies. Sometimes they say that deals are in the works (although I wonder if any of the rumored transactions even reached the talking-it-over stage). Other times, they just wistfully hope that a deal might happen, or wonder what would transpire if it did.

He then goes on to review a dozen such acquisitions that never did happen.
