Dude - do you ever read the drek you write?
Remember when you said a decade was but 9 years? LOLOLOLOL!
Remember when you said the iPhone would never use MMS?
The iPad would never be called an iPad?
There was no need to record video on an iPhone?
iPhone mini was only for whittled downed digits?
Do you remember? LOLOLOLOLO!
Nobody except AppleInsider's precious analyst Ming-chi Kuo has a perfect track record of predicting Apple's future product plans.
Ming-chi Kuo is the person you want to creepily stalk over their prediction hit rate, not Solipsism.
Well in this case it's a very CEO-style solution (if Iovine is what I think, the new iTunes maestro).
I suspect you are correct. Jimmy will a huge asset to Apple. I really don't know anything about Dr Dre, but if Jimmy partnered with him he is obviously one smart guy too. I am getting pretty sick of the knee jerk reaction against all this for all the sadly, obvious reasons.
Beats has a lot of very cool and very well designed products.
They are actually much more like Apple than I thought... Even their fans are as passionate...
Beats owns an aspect of the music world that Apple needs and now is a very good time to get it.
Quote:
Beats Electronics boss and veteran music industry executive Jimmy Iovine is in talks to join Apple as a "special adviser" to Tim Cook on creative matters, two sources close to talks tell The Post.
No way is he and/or Dre coming to Apple and working for anyone but the CEO. Egos and all...
I doesn't really matter, I'm sure Eddy has plenty to do and would be happy to have Jimmy run iTunes, these are not children or bloggers, they are senior Apple Executives remember. I am very excited about the changes and uptick in the things happening at Apple, from new exciting prospects in camera technology to new approaches in music. Both happen to be my hobbies so i am thrilled.

Off Topic sorry,... but what is 'creepy' about back tracking over some idiots stupid and consistently wrong statements on AI over the years? Look up John Dvorak in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Dvorak), they have all is classic stupid comments right there for all to ROFL at. I think we should have a similar hall of shame for AI. I have no problem with people talking about what they think or feel but we all know the same old A-H0les that state categorically they are correct and everyone else is wrong over and over and usually laced with insults.
I don't think so. Eddy was lumbered with Maps after the less than spectacular launch. I'm pretty sure that he'd be happier with a lighter workload.
I'm 52 but I still believe that music has a huge part to play in today's society. How it's delivered, and presented is as important as ever. It's got absolutely nothing to do with being cool as some people are implying. Microsoft have tried so hard over the years to appear cool that it's embarrassing: kids aren't dumb. It's all about a convenient, reliable, personal service, at the right price.
Oh and, people that keep going on about the quality of the headphones, aren't seeing the bigger picture.
Yeah, like the first time you saw the Apple ][ or the Mac -- you just knew you were seeing the future, and had to be a part of it.
Change, in the world around us, makes us old farts (DORFs) forever young ... exciting new toys and adventurous new paths to explore!
I got to touch an early Apple ][ in my capacity of working with brain damaged kids. No background in computers what-so-ever. It was is if I had met Dr. Who and shown the future. I knew immediately, with every bone in my body I had to get involved. A few months later I ditched a very well paid and promising career, held hands with Apple and walked off the plank into the future.

I agree with you. By the way, on the headphones. I suspect there is an age issue here. Most of those hating Dr. Dre are most likely past 18 years old. As we age we (most people that is, I am sure there are exceptions, luck bar-stewards) lose a massive amount of high frequency hearing (especially those of us who like loud music) and need bass cut and treble boost in EQ. Cans made for kids are radically different obviously. I have my Audio-Technica Pro Studio cans for Logic pro X and they are great for my hearing but I still have to adjust for my deficiencies.

Tim's undergraduate degree is Industrial Engineering. He's an Engineer.

Wow, never knew that. My admiration for him just went up yet another notch.

I would think Jimmy would report to Eddy.

Great stories. .. both ...
Funny how we old farts, who have been with Apple since the very start, seem to be able to embrace change better than many isn't it?
Munster has a perfect track record
So much so I think he and John Dvorak maybe colluding.
