Particle, a San Francisco firm that creates HTML 5 web applications, has been acquired by Apple for its staff, according to reports.
The company was bought last month, CNet reported, and had around a dozen employees.
Not all of those have moved to Apple, the report said, but those who have describe themselves as 'creative technologists'.
Started in 2008, one of Particle's backers was Justin Timberlake, the pop singer and actor known for his role as Sean Parker in The Social Network, the film about the creation of Facebook.
However, Timberlake has also dabbled in technology investments, including a stake in Specific Media, the online advertising company that bought social network MySpace.
Apple has not commented on the acquisition. The company acquires smaller firms quite often but seldom publicists its deals.
One of Apple's most notable recent acquisitions was Siri Inc, the artificial intelligence service that Apple bought in April 2010 and which formed the foundation of the iOS Siri 'personal assistant' software first announced in October 2011.
and one more good news said by APPLE inc.., they are going to launch new ipad with 7, 10 inches of screen size report says it going to launch soon this week
