It was a typo. He makes the same consistent mistakes in every single one of his posts. There's a difference, and you know that. Stop being intellectually dishonest.
No, he's suggested that you're a fucking idiot that doesn't know the definition of a good business. Your opinion that Beats makes "crappy product" is purely subjective. The data, showing that they own the mid to high end market in sales and profit- isn't. Clearly, millions upon millions of people love the product. I think Apple cares about that more than the shitty opinion of an intellectually stunted internet troll like you, who has proven time and time again that he doesn't understand the fundamentals of any topic he chooses to dwelve into. Noone gives a shit about what you think about Beats. Will you ever understand that?
people use that word around you often because that's what you are -- a dirty, ugly troll, who lives under a bridge and breathes fart-breath whenever he speaks.
So Pazuzu, if this entire board agrees you're a filthy troll, that means the entire board is fucking stupid? When there's a consensus about something, especially in regards to yourself, maybe you should step back and do some self reflection, instead of just making another mind-numbingly asinine retort. Why the **** would so many people on this board see you as a filthy, disgusting troll, do you think? Wait, don't answer that.
laugh... sorry, senior enterprise software dev is my day job. i get to call 'em as i see 'em when I'm wasting my own time on an apple enthusiast site. most of the participants here make for good discussion on topics that interest me. there are only two users that make me question their humanity vs trolldom. you're one of them.
As Elon Musk (a previous fan of patents, who recently open sourced all of Tesla's patents) realised, "Patents are just a lottery ticket to a lawsuit." The competition will just *copy you anyway*, then a lawsuit happens which takes so long to work it's way through the system that by the time remedy comes, it's just a one-off payment that makes no difference to the market situation. Tim Cook also complained about this reaction time problem in his Senate testimony.
The speed differential between tech advances and the legal system means that in this modern world, patents don't protect inventors so much as enrichen lawyers. And the tech companies could be spending that lawyer money on better things, like more engineers (so that by the time the competition has reverse engineered your last thing, you have already released your next thing).

I always though "troll" referred to the fishing term, you know trolling a piece of bait behind a boat to see what you can hook.
If it's an opinion, state it as an opinion. Apple has sold software in the past that overlapped with their own offerings, so it may not be a foregone conclusion.
Other way around, at least until we hear results of settlement. Apple pulls Bose hardware from best sales locations in world then Bose settles out of court. I think Apple won this round.
Tend to think this is the case. Bose started picking up steam because of Apple products. I never saw any traffic much in those retail Bose mall stores. Now they maybe headed back to empty stores and niche markets again.

Actuallly, my problem with the Bose mall stores is that they were selling both headphones and speakers. The speakers were run so loud that noise-cancellation was a joke. That was years ago - maybe they've separated them now.
In Internet slang, a troll (/?tro?l/, /?tr?l/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4]
2012, try the late 80's. Bose first used noise canceling tech in head sets for pilots, first use in consumer products started in 2006 with the Bose QuietComfort 3.
No they don't, though a little on the expensive side the Bose SoundLink mini sounds fantastic, one of the best portable speakers on the market for it's size. On a side note Apple isn't going to remove Bose products from their store because of a lawsuit or that they now have Beats, how petty do you think they are. Apple will continue selling Bose, JBL, Bowers & Wilkins, Philips, etc. products for the foreseeable future. This thread is ridiculous, every single time Apple gets into a legal battle with another company, the company in question is automatically ostracized and their products turn into crap, enough already.

Interesting perspective. Makes a lot of sense. Sort of the opposite of carrying around copycat butthurt for the better part of a decade.

oh please. Bose was crap before an Apple lawsuit. Just ask any audiophile or audio engineer.
Now if you were talking about AKG or Sennheiser that'd be a different deal.
Last time I looked you could buy MS Office in the Apple Store.
Except (granting the adequacy of Pages, the relative simplicity of Numbers and the superiority of Keynote for most individual users) Apple has no competitive products in the enterprise space for office productivity, especially in spreadsheets, and you have to do the export two-step to share any iWork files with 90%+ of the computing world in general...
(I guess that last is technically no longer true given Apple's iWorks for iCloud beta online offering, but then, even with a Mac I've never logged into that service. And don't see mass adoption by PC users anytime soon. While Office Live offers the same service in relative reverse and MS is really working hard on making affordable versions of Office available across the great majority of iDevice platforms. And Word has become the crappy program I've finally mastered well enough to not want to leave it. Just don't try to get me to give up Keynote for PP....)

What I feel the whole endorsement mess shows in spades is that you can't trust any celebrity endorsement to be even remotely real (for any paid endorsers of any product). As witness Joan River's glowing "endorsement" of the iPhone 6 that was released after her death (and before she could have had an iP6).
Also, unless Apple rapidly upgrades the quality of Beats products across the board they risk being tagged as a company that's got a fair degree of over-hyped-more-sizzle-than-steak-ness across its own core product range.

Great answer that shows your intelligence.

In the grand scheme of Apple's business, Bose means absolutely nothing. Replace it with something else and life goes on.

Lol love your verb tense and constant use of the work"troll" reflecting a very limited vocabulary. Isn't that called pigeon English?
Pidgin English even.

My PowerBeats aren't too bad, better than the Bose headphones I've got, probably the dual speakers.
They are a heck of a lot easier to carry around than my Sennheiser Momentums.
Have you even owned and regularly used a pair of beats?
I always though "troll" referred to the fishing term, you know trolling a piece of bait behind a boat to see what you can hook.
Do you sell competitor's products in your store?
If it's an opinion, state it as an opinion. Apple has sold software in the past that overlapped with their own offerings, so it may not be a foregone conclusion.
Then when does Apple start selling Samsung phones? If Apple only sold Beats which it probably will eventually your son would buy Beats regardless.
Phones are part of the core business, so they obviously wouldn't do that. Beats are accessories, not core.

Lol. But we're people making sound judgement there? And please don't answer that with a 'beats me'.
you are ignorant.
Beats were making noise canceling headphones since at least 2012

That suck worse than their headphones.
