the ink man

I've heard so many good and bad comments regarding Beats products, that I have been less that committed to finding out the truth for myself. I am by no means an audiophile in the strictest sense, however, I am a professional composer, and have my own standards for what is good an what is not. A couple weeks ago (no doubt in preparation for the announcement of new product), Best Buy was selling just what I was looking for — over-the-ear, bluetooth (4.0) Beats for nearly $185. off. Too much to resist, so I bit. I was pleasantly surprised by the range of tones I hadn't experienced even in much higher end "cans". Still, it'll be interesting to see/hear what Apple has done with Beats since their acquisition.

Nancy Pelosi is a horrendously corrupt politician. She's one reason the US needs across-the-board term limits. Other similarly corrupt old timers include John McCain, Lindsay Graham and Harry Reid.

Ah yes, let's turn a story about an Watch into a story about politics.

They take one questionable snap-shot and turn it into an age-discrimination issue. BS! In Vegas where we have at least 6 Apple stores (most of which I've visited at one time or another), and although there are more young people, there is still quite a mixture of ages, as well as ethnicities. I'm 70 and remain quite tech savvy, but understand that a position at an Apple store is likely better suited to the tech-obsessed younger generation and their exuberance. No doubt this story will self-replicate over and over again with no basis in fact.
