   At JavaOne, I remember seeing Bill Joy predicting that $1T of wealth creation was going to grow to $10T. I think this was in 1999. A few years later, he warned that nanotech may turn us into grey goo. [I may be exaggerating a bit] Birth of

    I didn't buy the item. It was an Apple Watch charger that Apple lists for $29 and the vendor has a "list price" $59. In the past, I have read reviews which mention that an item is being sold for a lot more than SRP. So, I tho
