Titolo: A proposito di BOSE...

A proposito di BOSE... ho trovato questo (praticamente per sbaglio).
Estratto da una Bose FAQ.
Chissa' se c'e' qualcosa del genere sulla copia dei CD o sulla
qualita' del minidisc.

The usual naive request for information about Bose is often followed
by a flame war, often to the original poster's great surprise. While
Bose may be "The Most Respected Name in Audio" --- according to the
Bose marketing department --- Bose gets little respect from most of
the participants in the audio newsgroups. In fact, moderate to strong
anti-Bose sentiments outnumber pro-Bose sentiments perhaps 20 to one
on the audio newsgroups! However, there are always at least two
staunch defenders of Bose. Perhaps because they face such overwhelming
odds, the Bose defenders tend to phrase their arguments in brief and
repetitive ways, which almost everyone else finds extremely irritating,
especially after several months of exposure. The flavor of this debate
has to be personally experienced to be truly appreciated. But, as a
feeble attempt to duplicate it, here is the structure of a typical
exchange: 
NEWBIE:  Does anyone have any opinions about Bose speakers?
FIVE RESPONSES:  There are better speakers for the money including 
      brands X, Y, and Z
BOSE DEFENDER:   But Bose speakers offer superior design.  They're
      the most popular speaker in the world, and for good reason.
TEN RESPONSES:   Popularity does not equal quality. (Many long detailed
      rebuttals to the Bose defender.  Tone tends to be
      slightly hostile since they've done this several times
      before.  Some are very hostile --- "Bose sucks!!!")
BOSE DEFENDER:   No.  You're all wrong.  
FIFTEEN RESPONSES:  What?! (Many more long posts explaining
      again why they are right)
BOSE DEFENDER:
      But Bose is a large corporation with excellent customer
      service.  Other smaller companies may fail, leaving you
      without service.
TWENTY RESPONSES:  Good service for a poor quality product?
      So what? (Many more detailed responses about the problems
      they perceive with Bose, plus more "Bose sucks!!!" posts)
BOSE DEFENDER:  Bose is a very popular speaker.  More people buy Bose
      speakers than any other speaker, and Bose has very high customer
      satisfaction rates.
TWENTY FIVE RESPONSES:  Agggh!!  We just explained that quality does
      not equal popularity.  Can't you read?  Are you an IDIOT?
BOSE DEFENDER:  No.  I'm not the idiot, you're all idiots.  This newsgroup
      is populated by a small clique of crazy "audiophile" types who spend
      hundreds of dollars for cable that doesn't even make a difference.
NEWBIE: (forgot about the newbie didn't you!) (in a weak voice)
      I want my mommy.
This goes on ad infinitum until everyone is heartily sick of it, and
the debate fades. A few weeks later, someone asks about Bose again,
and it starts all over. It should be noted that not every Bose
supporter always debates as described above, any more than every
Bose detractor always debates by saying "Bose sucks!"
