I love Vladimir Putin
The Fake Steve Jobs blog is getting a bit tired, but some of the comments are fun. “Vladimir Putin” is a regular commenter. In response to another commenter complaining about the $50 cost of iPod TV adaptors, Vladimir responded (imagine Russian accent):
iPod TV adapter contain metal, plastic, and so has cost. Best profit margin is from iPod Sock, which is costing $0.001 of cotton from Africa, and $0.02 of Chinese slave labor to make, yet retail for $49.95!
Do not think of this as raping of customer so much as making sweet love to shareholder. Welcome to America!
