We also are 21st in terms of widely available broadband internet capability. Oh wait, if we have prayer in schools and prohibit gay marriage, it will keep good paying jobs and manufacturers from going elsewhere....... or at least that's what the rightwingnuts say.

B&O is just another way to exclusivise your hardware. No different from gold plating and sticking diamonds on your regular cell phone. They've been doing this lately on their models other than sound systems. They were great back in the 60s and 70s. Real quality sound rigs. But as they enter the 80s they realised that people buy B&O not just for the quality but for the Design. And in TV and Mobile markets, they just use other brand's hardware and redesign it. #5 – Another B&O watchamacallit…

It runs about 54,000 dollars, but I'm sure if they put an Apple logo on it, they would sell like hotcakes.
