Was listening to NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday this morning while waiting for Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! and caught a segment by Sam Sanders about Apple's purchase of Beats and was surprised to hear commentary by our own Tyll Hertsens.

Congrats, Tyll!

YAY and also INFRUASTRCTURE, I think a lot of us here at head fi caught on to that as the reason why Apple got beats, but it was Tyll who first even mentioned that concept :3 and grats on him at getting onto NPR
 
I also didn't know that apple already had patents for "hearbles"

Should be interesting. Though I wonder if it'll be another patent that ends up being folded into their smartphones (The sad fate of the iCamera).

Hopefully they won't patent "a device with 2 little speakers on each side that can be put on a person's head", 'cause that's what they usually do to every industry they step their filthy toes into.
