The Steve Jobs Premium
- daniel-cussen 18y agoOwning an Apple hurts when it comes to hidden costs, that's for sure. I remember a laptop charger cost $200, and seeing that the cheapest item Apple sells is a $20 cable that is pretty generic. But then, that's planet Apple for you. There's some vendor lock-in, but apart from that, it's ultimately a matter of Steve Jobs owning a monopoly on Steve Jobs.
- jobeirne 18y agoUmm... RCA -> 1/8th inch jack. Picked one up at Radioshack yesterday for 7 dollars. Not that tough. What happened to a little spitshine and Google use?
- mattmaroon 18y agoIsn't that the y cable he mentioned? I assume he just bought a bad one.
- mattmaroon 18y agoThere are no Apple fanboys in the tech media.
