As for real computer components having real costs..that doesn't take into account "overuns" on someone elses raw materials.
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.
I bought a Fuji F30. I love the camera but HATE the XD format. It's inconvenient (several of my existing card readers don't accept it), it's expensive (compared to CF and SD), and up until this 2 gig came out, limited to 1 gig...oh and it seems slow too.
Memory is memory, what's to love about the format? I just wish they would have gone with SD in the camera.
/end whine
lol
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm heading to university next year, and I've purchased a MacBook. I'm also taking my four year old desktop, just in case I'm left with no computers when the MacBook is being repaired or whatnot. With only two USB ports on a MacBook, I want a Bluetooth mouse. Budget is about $100, and of course, it needs OS X support. Thanks for the help!"
