Probably that they welcome Beats to the family by laying off people.
Correction, they are looking to place them elsewhere in Apple, if they so desire. More then Microsoft/Nokia employees could hope for...

Meanwhile, Beats' web designer decided that Times New Roman was the best way to welcome Apple on their website.
Well the music that is selling in any volume these days is either rap, electronic, or infused with one of those sounds. Beats headphones are designed for what is actually selling. Most other headphones sound crappy when trying to deliver the lower frequencies of current music. That's why they sell so well.Thanks for confirming my suspicions about Beats. They sound like the Ghetto Blaster of headphones. Good for c-Rap music but nothing else.
There's something that feels so wrong about this, I don't know what it is but... Feels wrong.
That's what I was thinking. I have no idea why Apple wanted to buy this company. There are much better sounding headsets/speakers than beats.

They really could have spent that $3bn on something better imo... but what do I know.
Yeah, in my opinion, they should have invested in a 3D printing company.

Steve Jobs was, biologically if not culturally, half-Syrian -- Arab. I suspect it was knowledge of this that gave him the impetus and understanding of how to deal with naysayers and parasites who would seek to detract and destroy his piercing vision. We are all limited by out physiology -- it's just that some of us accept that limitation while others don't, and some of us even go so far as to blame that limitation on others.
Eugenics went out of style a while ago...

Noticed this right away, ahah! How ugly!
Maybe they changed it, but that's not Times New Roman
Apple bought them for the Music Industry contacts.. Not the stylish headgear.
So I guess whoever writes the copy for Apple's website thinks this is "beautiful"? I hope to god this is one of the first things Apple ditches. And maybe considering how expensive this gear is they can move away from crappy plastic? When I was at the Apple store looking for a wireless speaker I couldn't believe how cheap looking and feeling the Pill was.

Relax granddads.
It feels wrong because it is wrong. Why is it wrong? It is wrong because Apple was a truly revolutionary company which changed the game and won by focusing all its efforts on creating quality, magic, and - yes - beauty. No other maverick has ever surpassed the successful ingenuity of Steve Jobs, although a few others equal it - Edison, Marconi, Tesla, Ford, etc.
Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine represent all that has sought to demolish, destroy, and end the dreamland that was once America. They and their ilk envy and hate those who proved themselves giants of industry, ingenuity and progress. There's a reason why people have been calling Steve Jobs the last great American innovator. It is because America has fallen into the hands of those who seek to tear it down and trample it into nothing - only for their petty jealousy and to prove themselves superior to something they evidently cannot even understand.
The true hate comes from the pots calling the kettles black. And before you launch your vitriol against me for my truth-telling, please remember that Steve Jobs was, biologically if not culturally, half-Syrian -- Arab. I suspect it was knowledge of this that gave him the impetus and understanding of how to deal with naysayers and parasites who would seek to detract and destroy his piercing vision.
