Bingo. They have a very distinctive look. You buy these and people can tell from across the street that you’re wearing “those $500 apple headphones”. If you think of apple as a tech company, their products seem absurdly priced. If you think

My theory is that consumers already have wifi networks and know how to enter a wifi password (or push a wps button). They don’t need to buy some new base station and then worry about if it speaks the right protocol as all their other device

complete interoperability didn't happen, so we should stop writing software? what? > Our computer programs are as adhoc and inscrutible as they were in the 70s, and we’re all struggling under them. Objectively untrue. I really don&#
