CarlSeibert Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Posted January 7, 2015 And now....... hehehe Lawsuit Alleges Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine Swindled Beats Partner http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/lawsuit-alleges-dr-dre-jimmy-iovine-swindled-beats-28043213
guzziguy Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Sounds like Mr. Lee is unhappy because he received bad inside information.
CarlSeibert Posted January 8, 2015 Author Report Posted January 8, 2015 Interesting that the MOG guy is also peeved.
acidbasement Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 Not headphone-specific industry news, but Sony just announced that it will shut all Sony stores in Canada.
grawk Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 sony AND target. Canada must not like nice things. 2
Hopstretch Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 You've got it backwards. Nice things just don't understand the Canadian market.
CarlSeibert Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Posted January 15, 2015 I didn't know that Sony even had stores. But life without target would be bleak.
acidbasement Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 Target moved into Canada just a few years ago, and they never got traction. They weren't as cheap as the US stores, and their stores were never as well-stocked as walmart, so people just kept shopping at walmart.
grawk Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 plus, canadians are walmart's people. Canada doesn't deserve nice things.
justin Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 do they have K Mart? they might really love it
Salt Peanuts Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 So how are Tim Hortons? I've seen them but have never gone to one.
nikongod Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 So how are Tim Hortons? I've seen them but have never gone to one. Kinda the same as Dunkin Donuts, in a different way. I kinda prefer Tim Horton. There are a few in NYC.
acidbasement Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 do they have K Mart? they might really love it We used to have K Mart, but not anymore. We still have Hudson Bay Company, which is pretty excellent, though for awhile it was owned by an American company - not sure if it still is. So how are Tim Hortons? I've seen them but have never gone to one. Tim Hortons used to be okay, but around the turn of the millenium they stopped making doughnuts in-house and now they ship them in from a central facility. The coffee is nasty, too, which is why most people order double-doubles (two milks, two sugars - do you call it that in the USA?). The only reason they're so popular in Canada is that they've somehow convinced everyone that it's the only patriotic Canadian place to get coffee.
GeorgeP Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 Yeah, they're right up there, close to hockey (even though bought out by the King) - like a licence to print money.

The only reason they're so popular in Canada is that they've somehow convinced everyone that it's the only patriotic Canadian place to get coffee. That explains a lot. We went up to Montreal & Quebec City last year, and on the way up stopped at a Tim Horton. All 3 of us quite disappointed.....very nice folks serving us, but food & coffee quality sub-par.
Voltron Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 Double Double has nothing to do with coffee here, Iain. Now I'm hungry and want to go to In N Out 3
acidbasement Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 We have no In n Out, at least in western Canada. This country is vast though, and I know not what wonders may exist east of Winnipeg.
blessingx Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 If you Google Image search "east of Winnipeg" the mystery is solved - basically snow and car crashes. 1
grawk Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 I think all in n out burgers are south and west of the peg
luvdunhill Posted January 20, 2015 Report Posted January 20, 2015 I think all in n out burgers are south and west of the peg Likely there are some in Texas east of Winnepeg?
