2.6 billion + 400,000 != 3 billion.. Unless of course you meant another 400 million in stocks?

An overpriced headset to go with an overpriced phone, no thanks. I see handfulls of douchewads at the gym all the time wearing the Beats headphones and all I can think is that they are gullible chumps.

They may be wearing illegal copies from China bought for a fraction of the price. I bought a pair when I was over there.

Never understood the Beats fad. Nor do I understand how Beats fits into Apple's grand scheme.

Guess we'll find out shortly.

Sweet over priced gimmick marketing audio to go with over priced gimmick marketing phone/computers/tabs. Mass produced for the sheeple of the world.

Apple has allowed the 200 employees affected by acquisition to find other positions so this article is out dated.

Ahhhh Branding... People will pay $300 for a pair of headphones that sound worse than a $70 pair just to look cool.
