    Jason Stoddard's post about marketing:

    I’ll admit it. Before I went to speak on virtual worlds at Harvard (this is not a joke—hell, there was an MIT Tech Review article on what we did: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/409682/historical-maps-in-second-life/), I freely talked Schiit about Bose.

    Bose was clearly just a marketing company, targeting the lowest common denominator, not at all interested in sound.

    Duh.

    Everyone knew that.

    But, after Harvard, I had a chance to go out and visit Bose on The Mountain…specifically their R&D labs. I signed an NDA, so 10 years later I’m still not comfortable saying exactly what I heard and saw, but suffice to say, Bose is NOT just a marketing company. A couple of the most impressive demos I’ve heard (and seen) to date blew that idea out of the water. I had to completely reset my notions of what the company was about after that visit.

    Now, I’m not sure how much of Bose’s R&D makes it into their consumer products. I’m betting it’s a reasonable amount, but by no means all of it. I still haven’t seen some of the stuff I saw long ago in any of their products, but I also don’t follow their stuff in great detail.
