"The musician will be in charge of "elevating" the customer experience of laptops, smartphones and tablets that should "marry" music and technology."
So his job is to install quality speakers in some devices? Or is his job just to tell someone else to do this?

ive actualy been listening to the black eyed peas (some old stuff and some new).considering most the music he makes is digitally altered and some of the video clips are digital altered he might actually have some great ideas.then again he might screw up intel like he did with the song time of my life.

What qualifications or even experience does this guy have?

Ok so he just uses a computer. Then I guess anyone with money can be a creative director. Another stupid move on Intel's part, besides buying McAfee, which was really stupid, now this one takes the cake. Hopefully they don't give this boozo too much control, I plan on buying an Ivy-Bridge laptop late this year, he better not screw it up for everyone with his "creative innovations".

actually i think anyone that has creative skills and basic computer knowledge can become one providing they have a good reputation.im assuming his job is to come up with the ideas and its the staff with the qualifications that do the technical stuff and make the ideas come to life.

I already know what's gonna happen. Either he will "suggest" a Black Eyed Peas labelled device, or have something such as a smartphone with Black Eyed Peas songs already loaded on. That's how this guy will connect music and technology together, even though it's been done for at least over 2 decades. Judging by the glasses, beard, and clothes he's wearing, this can only be disastrous.
