Welcome to this morning's edition of "First To Know," a series in which we keep you in the know on what's happening in the digital world. Today, we're looking at three particularly interesting stories.
Apple Acquires Anobit
Apple has acquired Israeli flash storage company Anobit for an undisclosed amount. Apple rarely buys hardware companies, but since it’s the world’s number one flash storage buyer, this acquisition will probably lead to cost savings somewhere down the line.
Boxee Promises to Bring Netflix to UK Customers
Netflix recently launched in the UK, and now Boxee promises (via Twitter) to bring the video streaming service to its customers. Exactly when this will happen, however, remains unknown.
