Apple's (AAPL) Cook Said to Meet with Beats Over Streaming-Music Service
According to Reuters, Cook recently held talks with Beats Electronics LLC over a potential music-streaming service.

Though Cook expressed interest in the business model of "Daisy," the meeting covered a broad range of topics and was said to be "informal."
Beats announced Tuesday that it secured $60 million in funding for "Daisy" from sources like Warner Music's Len Blavatnik and Australian financier James Packer. "Daisy" is planned for a late-2013 launch.
