I hate Bose. Although they make decent products, they are quite overrated. Also, they are thuggish with their patent lawyers. All of their supposed "breakthroughs" and proprietary ideas are actually long known audio concepts. They either manage to get patents anyways (often happens) and/or they sue anyone into the ground, even if they (bose) are wrong.

Oh, and by the way, he is from Calcutta India.

If true, the employee should have refused and not quit. Make them have the nerve to fire him/her.

You could call them and find out if it is true. Otherwise, it's hearsay.

Contact Bose Corporation by Telephone
Call: 1-800-WWW-BOSE (1-800-999-2673) or 1-508-766-1099

Hmmm. Seems like I heard something about the guy who started Bose (or maybe it was the guy who invented the technology) went to the Naval Academy.

A caller to G. Gordon Liddy show today

Time to call Paul Harvey's staff in Chicago.
Bose product are big advertizers on his show.

My cousin, an electrial engineer who works for a sound/acoustic supply company,
says that real purists/acoustic engineers regard Bose products as over-priced/over-hyped
and trading on Bose's MIT connection.
I don't know if my cousin (otherwise a "regular guy") is being an elitist...
but he says that Bose gets routinely dissed at meetings of electrical engineers.

BUT...maybe this is just jealousy over the $$$$$ that Bose has probably made off his work.

I heard Bose pulled advertisements from the Rush Limbaugh show due to boycott threats from the liberal losers.

After paying for a premium Bose stereo and hearing how crappy it sounds in my new car, I'll never buy anything Bose.

Somebody better tell Rush. I guess they want the 20% of the market.

Blaupunkt has it all over Bose except in price. And I'm not so sure about that.

Maybe BOSE wants to buy up all the unsold tickets to the Dixie Chicks concerts and make them available to its customers? How many of their remaining customers would want those tickets instead of an American flags? Stupid move.

I must'a heard this 20 (twenty) years ago:

"No highs, no lows, must be a Bose".

Our local factory outlet has a Bose. I just called and the employee said he knew nothing about it and said he would be upset if it was true.
