Oh, well.
Time to buy Bose stock.
Privately held.
Check out the Quicktime movies. They're jaw-dropping.
It's a privately-held company.
Comparison of Factory-Installed and Bose® Suspension System Two vehicles of the same make and model are driven over a bump course at night.
The vehicle on the top has the original factory-installed suspension, and the vehicle on the bottom has the Bose suspension system. Both vehicles are being driven at the same speed.
No wonder Bose is so 'lucky'. Luck is defined as the intersection of opportunity and preparation. God bless America.

Dr. Bose is an engineer patterned after Thomas Edison. There's no substitute for perseverance and hard work, especially in applied science.
BUMP
Bose suspension?
Will it make my CD's sound better?

Amen to that!

I know a couple engineers for Bose. They don't care if you have a degree or not, you just have to be smart, very smart.
The amount of dollars they pumped into research was amazing. They would spend a year or more with prototype GM cars making the sound system perfect.
If it's Bose, it's as close to perfect as you can get.
This sounds a great deal like a suspension used by a company that does some R&D for many of our military vehicles. That company has developed a, for lack of a better word, shock, that is a slurry of metal particles that changes density according to ride demands. The shock material can change from density of water to a solid in an instant.
I don't remember the name of the company. I became aware of it while watching a Discovery Channel show.
Bose = nice but costly stuff (5 bills for a table radio). I guess somebody is buying those Wave radios that Paul Harvey pitches.
Bose must be a conservative- his ads have run for years in American Spectator, National Review & The Washington Times.
Yes Virginia, there are Conservatives in the peoples republic of massachusetts.
I know- I grew up there one town away from the Bose shop in Framingham.
Can't buy Bose stock but, we can buy Bose stuff as we divest our viacom (cbs) stock.
I hope we Freepers are doing both!

bump! I love Bose stuff.
The appropriate reaction.
An interesting angle on this for conservatives is the project development time. Dr. Bose owns the company and could afford a 24-year product development cycle. What does this say about the publicly-held corporate model?
Maybe the existing mix of privately and publicly held corporations is best, since I can see advantages and disadvantages to both.
