The link's plenty interesting, but next time please try to avoid editorializing in the title. A "vig" is the cut taken by a loan shark or bookie and has strong connotations of crime and dishonesty (at least in the US). Apple's not breaking any laws here (right?) so calling it a "vig" is pretty far off base.

He used the term "vig" and it's appropriate here. http://mikecanex.wordpress.com/2011/02/01/the-day-apple-became-nathan-myhrvold/ http://mikecanex.wordpress.com/2011/02/01/the-day-apple-beca...
