Maybe that's what they wanted. Cool-points for giving something away for free, and job-security for all the "mysterious" shorted-out USB drives :D]]>Aug 11th 2006 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/Aug 11th 2006 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/
You have a factory that produces whatever. Local management are (in this hypothetical example) corrupt.

Your contract is to produce 100,000 whatevers. You have your factory produce until it's out of material for that order. Deliver the 100,000 units and get paid. Then the remaining units go out the back door to your associates. They, in turn distribute/wholesale out to street vendors.

It's making money off the scraps, as it were.

Even our record industry had(or has) that problem with records/dvds.]]>Aug 11th 2006 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/Aug 11th 2006 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/Aug 11th 2006 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/Aug 11th 2006 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/Aug 11th 2006 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/Aug 11th 2006 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/

Well from my POV, it's kinda obvious that this thing doesn't work at all. ]]>Aug 11th 2006 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/Aug 11th 2006 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/Aug 11th 2006 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/Aug 11th 2006 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/

The people who sell a similarly manufactured product are loosing business because this makes what could be an inexpensive product unusable and unsold, just because of it's notoriety.]]>Aug 11th 2006 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/11/keepin-it-real-wtf/
