Word around an espresso machine? LOL

Jason Calacanis proposed just this in a Medium post the other day. At least tens of thousands have read and discussed it.

At first I was thinking nah, but then he did lay out a compelling argument. Not so sure on the price, but Apple has been known to overpay for things they want if they feel it will be a strategic fit. Look no further than Beats. Plus they'd probably get Elon Musk onboard. It would partly be a talent play, just like they wanted and got with Dre and Jimmy in the Beats deal.

Steve was always the big dreamer who knew how to (mostly) successfully execute. Tim Cook is an excellent CEO. I suspect he is more operational, and knows this, and is therefore going after talent. Tim knows he needs big dreamers with proven success to fill the big shoes Jobs left behind.
