Samsung buys Harman for $8B

With spontaneously combusting cell phones and exploding washing machines, could this be a way to get some positive momentum for investors?

Harmon has been making some nice products.   I hope that continues.

from what i've read, the home audio business is an afterthought--the real target is in  auto/connectivity--it sounds like the end goal is to integrate car systems with home security, appliances, etc. harmon is a bigger player in the car space than i thought--supposedly they have $24b in backorders, so maybe this will work out for samsung.
