We’ve also got the tutorial videos and how-tos, and what’s really cool is they show the Internet running at like a hundred times faster than in real life. The engineer dudes are like, Steve, you realize we can’t actually make a computer that goes this fast, right? Nonsense, I told them. You can and you will.

It's only a race to the bottom if you make it one
marco:
In nearly every critique of the App Store, developers and journalists cite the “race to the bottom”: the supposedly inevitable price drops until an app reaches $0.99. They make it sound like you can’t sell an app in any reasonable volume at any higher prices, and you’re forced by the market to lower your price until you’ve hit the bare minimum that you’re able to charge.
