Years ago, HN had an article 'Hacking my vagina'. It contains a line 'I was in the market for a $GADGET’. With that one line, the author managed to put my view of buying things upside down. Not a passive consumer. Not: I bought a $GADGET. She had an active relation with a bunch of sellers, and she was boss. You saw the megacorps begging and pleading to her, from that one line. That's how you deal with them. I am $GADGET guy? Shudder.
