My good friend, Bobby Cringley (I'm sadly not his friend, he doesn't know who I am, and I feel weird calling him 'Bobby'), writes a wonderful series of articles that you can find at his PBS site, The Pulpit. The most recent creation, The Puppet Master is fantastic. He talks about the price cut in the iPhone and how it once again proves that Steve Jobs is both a genius and a little bit crazy. I think that's a good thing.
Especially for me, since now I might buy the damned thing. And to everyone that I chided for buying one already - HA! You just ate $100 and you have a mere $100 to spend at an apple store. Good luck on that one, you've already bought the iPhone, so what's left? The MacBook Pro?
That's like solving Global Warming (...if it even exists) by throwing an ice cube in to the Atlantic. But bully for Jobs. Nothing like consumers taking it on the chin to make me love our capitalistic society even more. For those of you who don't know if I'm kidding...I'm not kidding. Consumers are by and large, donkeys, and I love when they pay double for stuff.
Maybe after a few lessons like this and the so-called 'early adopters' will recognize that they are actually beta testers for pricing structures.

I worked this out looking for HashMap for the hundredth time. I just loaded up the API, started typing 'hashmap' and the auto find found ConcurrentHashMap. Not good ENOUGH! So I hit Ctrl+F, and Enter, Esc, Enter, and there's HashMap, ready to be consumed by me. I hope you find this as useful as I do.
