Facebook exec optimistic on relationship with Apple?

Facebook CTO Bret Taylor has reportedly made some positive comments about the potential for a collaboration between Apple and Facebook in regards to the former’s new Ping social music network. Business Insider reports that Taylor said he is “very confident” Facebook and Apple will figure out how to work together on Ping. The report, which sites no sources but notes that Taylor made his comment at a recent dinner with New York media, speculates that Facebook blocked Apple’s access to its Facebook Connect service at the last minute because Apple notified Facebook of Ping’s existence at the last minute.
