Probably seen Apple was trying to buy them so they're hopeful Apple will just settle with a big payout.

Please clarify exactly WHAT was "founded in 08 according to Wiki"

You make mention as if the article discusses SOMETHING that was "founded" leaving readers to wonder what you even looked up in Wiki to begin with.

I guess once your reply becomes 'coherent' after clarification, maybe your nonsense statement will make more applicable sense.

Quite simply, Bose did NOT invent active noise cancellation. I'm getting damn tired of seeing companies try to claim IP over prior art, whether it's rectangles with rounded corners, icons, most 3D-printer patents, or whatever.

It's specific tech that Bose invented that they claim is being infringed upon NOT the idea of noise-cancellation itself Bozobub.


Aussie here... my mum said "donkeys years" or "donkeys" and she was a teen in the Great Depression. So it's been around for at least that long.
