krattoss:it is a 2-way thing. They succeeded in killing their potential rival. Now they will monopolise the industry. Thereby selling more of their products with ease since there is no more competition |

TechCapon:As a tech person, you should know better than accusing Apple of baseless racism when a simple research would have clarified Apple's position. Apple is not in business to buy and kill black man's company, they are in business to make money and stay on the top. 3 Likes |

Re: Apple Finally Acquires Shazam For $400 Million by Nobody: 8:24am On Sep 25, 2018 |
after android upgraded to 9.0. You can see the song playing without any app. Just using Google assistant. Apple now want to meet android and purchased an app. Called shazam. You have to open the app to know the song. While in android the phone just tells u the song even if your phone is locked and not using it. Apple can never ever compete android. Apple will die soon if another stronger company comes by |

TechCapon: Black man's company ke. Dre was a part owner. Dre was the face. Iovine was the brains. It seemed like they had a good idea for it. They'd removed the headphone jack, so maybe the AirPods should have been branded with Beats. I think the Beats brand is too valuable to lie fallow, but maybe they found later that it wouldn't work quite that well. You don't know if their Beats expertise is why their HomePod and AirPod sound so good. Tech companies buy a lot of companies all the time, not all of them work out. Go and search through the number of companies Google and Microsoft have bought in the last 5 years. Heck, Siri was a developed by a company Apple bought. -Lord 2 Likes |

TechCapon:When was the last time Apple announced a new product from acquired company X, Y or Z? You didn't get my point. No acquired company is entitled to Apple's promotion. Apple owns total rights to any company it acquires. Whether it chooses to kill, bury, assimilate or promote such companies is entirely its prerogative. Painting Dr. Dre as a helpless victim is in itself insulting because it insinuates that Dre was too dumb to know what Apple usually does to acquired companies. Apple is neither Facebook nor Alphabet. 1 Like |
