Weekly Highlights: Apple's Rumored $3.2 Billion Beats Deal, Netflix Price Hike And More

This week ended with a shocker: Apple AAPL could buy Beats Electronics for $3.2 billion. Investors might remember that this is the same price that Google GOOG paid for Nest. Elsewhere, famed VC Fred Wilson gave his prediction for which companies will rule technology. Apple wasn't on that list. Netflix NFLX announced that it will increase the price of its service for virtually all of its members -- in two years. New subscribers will pay $1 more from here on out. Google, Microsoft MSFT, Facebook FB, Amazon AMZN and other tech companies teamed up to fight for net neutrality. Activision ATVI announced that it plans to spend $500 million on Destiny. And Snapchat settled with the FTC. Disclosure: At the time of this writing, Louis Bedigian had no position in the equities mentioned in this slideshow.
