Apple eyeing $3.6 billion investment in Kia to make electric vehicles
Why it matters: A Korean newspaper has pushed share value in Kia Corporation to new heights after reporting of a potential partnership with Apple.

Beck's moment turning headwear to an hors d'oeuvre has been in the making for a while.
