Why apple REALLY bought Beats by Dr. Dre
- shopinterest 12y ago<quote>I’m starting a new series called simple answers to complex questions. It’s imagined along the same general principles that undoubtedly led to the principle of parsimony called Occam’s Razor. I will delve into many seemingly perplexing questions which likely has tons of experts or even academics commenting and opining on all sides. And will offer a well-reasoned answer with relative philosophical economy or simplicity. This answer may be well researched and presented with data or may be a shot from a gut. But overall it will have the distinctive ring of truth.</quote> TL:DR - Like everyone who has an opinion (and an asshole), I have one too. I'd like to think my opinion of these complex issues is awesome based on a couple of random thoughts that kinda-sorta make sense to me in the shower or somewhere reading twitter and some news. So my blog is here. Your life is now complete and free of reasoned debate with facts and stuff. These "facts" I mentioned and my conclusions have the 'distinctive ring of truth' so that's all you need. Isn't life awesome?
- okosisi 12y agoYou're right this is just an opinion and it come from one of 7 billion. No defense there. But in the end, most of the tech press is opinion. And you have to check on the track record of the writer. To the substance - it has been puzzling to figure out WHY. It's not the ear phone tech. And I don't buy 'streaming service'. There are much better ones out there in the tier 2 services and Beats isn't doing so we'll. So what is it? The clue has been in hiring those 2 guys and their connections. Not just to the music industry but to up and coming celebs. Their street cred. It's just an opinion but it's testable within a year when they engage those assets they just bought.
