Conspicuous Consumption
[Apple, iPhone]
You have to admire Armin Heinrich for his (pick one: iPhone App / Art Piece / Naked Greed) "I Am Rich". It does nothing but display a red ruby; tapping the miniature i in the corner (shades of the NewtOS) will load a secret mantra enabling you to "stay rich, healthy, and successful."
In his own words, Armin describes the app as 'a work of art with no hidden function'. Apple seems to have agreed with the cranky people and pulled this but seems to me if someone wants to pay $1000 for something - why not? Is this any different than Apple charging more for black MacBooks over comparatively spec'd white ones?
