Tell a man that there are 8.3 billion stars in the universe and he'll believe you. Tell him that the paint on the bench is wet, and he'll touch to be sure.
Tell the average engadgeter that fluffy stuff like cushion sets cost upwards of $100 and he wont cringe. (No, he wont even bother checking if his girl spent twice as much when she visited the fancy new store with her girlfriends). But tell him that a HD res photo frame costs upwards of $100 and well..see the remarks above.
Guys, if you want a cheap cheap electronic photo frame, (or a dozen of them), you know where to get them. They wouldn't be labelled Sony or Samsung or Philips...but you sure can find them for a quarter of the price, or lesser. And better still, I've seen some that don't even have a label on the bezel !
But when it comes to electronics, why do we keep looking for maxing out on functionality or value-for-money or featuring etc etc when (even during the recession period), we blow money on several non-tech but "lifestyle" thingies - like iPOD socks and fancy mobile phone covers or wallets or stuffed toys or rugs and carpets ....
Think again. Be less harsh on the geek industry. Feel good.
