John was working the behind the counter of his butcher shop...
Mrs. Finkle came in and asked the price for hamburger. John told her it was $4.99 a pound.
Mrs. Finkle shook her head and said "No, No, No, Lehman Butchers across the street sells it for $2.99 a pound."
John was perplexed, that was below his wholesale price, admitting defeat, shrugging his shoulders he said that she should buy her hamburger from Lehman Butchers.
Mrs. Finkle replied she couldn't because they were sold out.
John smiled and said, I sell my hamburger for $1.99 a pound when I'm sold out.
We've been dealing with the Tech Versions of Mrs. Finkle and Lehman Butchers for the last 30 years. And instead of us learning our lessons, we just keep on getting sucked into the hype machine. The "content creators" who after every Manufacture's demo will declare "This time the non-Apple Tablet has got it right!!!" And every time the device fails to meet the expectations set up by the demo.
HP, Samsung, Google, RIM and countless others have promised a mountain and delivered an avalanche prone molehill.
But the "Content Creators" must create content regardless of the quality.
