FourSquare might be a little too cumbersome for an acquisition. They are based in New York and Apple generally buys for specific technology not for brands as well. As for the technology WebObjects has been a Java technology for years now and it is used for iTunes Store and Apple Online Store (not sure about iCloud) but only to a limited extent. There really isn't anything specific that other technologies could bring to the table. Sure Akka/Scala could improve concurrency but Apple services are built such that you can just throw more hardware at it.
