Quite frankly, I don't know how anyone can make a living out consumer
gear these days. I guess I contribute to this problem, both from a
consumer and designer point of view. If I buy something I like it to
be cheap. I am not going to pay 10K for a tv when I can get one for
1K. Likewise when I design something I don;t care about servicing and
lifetime, I just care about maximising profit and minimising cost.
Thats how (and why) I get payed.
