Why this Blog?

A place where I can lament the changing times; for eccentric comments on current affairs and for unfashionable views, expressed I hope, in cogent style; also occasional cris de coeur largely concerned, I regret to say, with myself.

Yet More iPhone Bollocks!!


Could this be the ultimate iPhone accessory?

A diamond-studded leather case to protect your iPhone, price, $14,990.00; that is about 500 times the cost of the iPhone itself.

As some wag commented on the Gizmodo article that reported this particular piece of grossness, on the principle of "big ants have little ants/on their backs to bite 'em/little ants have smaller ants/ and so ad infinitum", one presumably buys a $234,000 case to protect the $15,000 one.

I expect they'll sell some: I heard this morning on the radio, that apparently EIGHT people bought the stupid "I am rich" non-functioning software that I reported on here so it would seem that we have not yet reached the bottom.

And to quote the eminently-quotable Phineas T. Barnum once again: "Nobody ever lost money under-estimating the taste of the public."

Until the next time.
