The Asian dork engineers from Monster Cable were owned by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine during negotiations for the manufacture of Beats headphones. They filled the son's (Noel Lee) head with visions of LA/NYC parties filled with white models who crave the small Asian penis. and just with that Jr. caved in to all the demands of Jimmy I. - so the guy with no education hustled the MBA from Northwestern (Noel).

This is what happens when have something someone wants but is incapable of doing on their own. Beats had access to showbiz, but pour Monster could only manufacture stuff, which many other firms could do.

Stanford Robert Ovshinsky (November 24, 1922 – October 17, 2012) was an American inventor and scientist who had been granted well over 400 patents over fifty years, mostly in the areas of energy and information.[1] Many of his inventions have had wide ranging applications. Among the most prominent are: an environmentally friendly nickel-metal hydride battery, which has been widely used in laptop computers, digital cameras, cell phones, and electric and hybrid cars; flexible thin-film solar energy laminates and panels; flat screen liquid crystal displays; rewritable CD and DVD discs; hydrogen fuel cells; and nonvolatile phase-change memory.[2][3]
