How else is Beats going to sell you the same overpriced headphones for the second time in three years? Gotta think about those gold plated yachts and CEO salaries. Won't somebody think of the executives!
Please don't post these comments here. It's not relevant to tech discussion.
I'll agree the parent comment is not a good one, but Hacker News is absolutely a place to talk about things like CEO compensation. It is not a tech-only venue.
I think analyzing the reasons why a technological change is proposed is directly on point. Yes, there are other reasons as well, but the benefit of obsoleting 50 years of headphones is a fantastic way to gouge the consumer.
oh yes it is relevant to discussion, much more than your comment for example
