Apple wants to come into your bedroom to keep an eye on you while you sleep ... but **t in a creepy way, of course.
The company just acquired sleep tracker Beddit (http://mashable.com/2013/08/28/beddit-sleep-tracker/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial), according to a CNBC (http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/09/apple-acquires-beddit-sleep-tracking-app.html) report. The news organization spotted a change on Beddit's online privacy portal (http://www.beddit.com/privacy/), dated May 8, that alerted the company's customers of Apple's acquisition and that their personal data will **w be gathered in accordance with the Apple Privacy Policy. Beddit also appears to have ******* a page (http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/09/apple-acquires-beddit-sleep-tracking-app.html) about its Apple Watch app from its site. *

The terms of the deal or any details on why Apple wants Beddit's tech weren't disclosed — Apple reps did **t immediately respond to requests for comment about the acquisition. But it's **t hard to guess why a sleep tracking company would be an appealing addition to Apple's offerings — the acquisition adds new branch of functionality to the increasingly health-focused Apple Watch.* Read more...
