Apple Confirms Its $3 Billion Deal for Beats Electronics

I completely agree with this. Jobs would've already made a subscription service and tried different headphones to sell by now. This is more of an aquihire and it's unimpressive.

If you watch MKBHD's videos on youtube, he shows why beats headphones sound good and why there's plenty of others that sound better for a cheaper cost.

Basically it's not really a move Jobs would've done but that's what happens when your co-founders aren't running the company anymore. It's like the NFL draft.

I'd say Google is going up and Apple is going down.

They already made one - iTunes Radio. It sucks. Also Jobs was strongly against music streaming as he didn't think people wanted to rent music.

You knew him well did you?
