DRE PICKS UP THE NERDPHONE: It may not have been a formal intro, but Dr. Dre was part of this morning's Apple WWDC festivities—albeit as a demonstration of OS X Yosemite's ability to extend iPhone calls. SVP Software Engineering Craig Federighi's call to Dre earned a roar from the crowd and sent the hip-hop innovator and Beats co-founder's voice booming through Moscone Center: "Hey how you doing? This is Dre. I'm glad you called. I heard Tim [Cook] gets in early; what time should I show up for work?" Playful banter about employee orientation ensued. No calls to Jimmy Iovine or other Team Beats members were made, but the call was a cheeky way of bringing Apple's most talked-about deal into the mix. Expect more soon. (6/3a)
