MicroSD: one good ripoff deserves another / Iomega Zip's

25 Apr 2012

...
     The local 99
Cent store sells A-B USB cables for ... wait for it ...
 99.99 cents. (PRICE GOUGING!)  
 How do they charge the fractional cents?  
 They round up the total at the register. So it's really a way of charging
 a dollar without actually doing so.  
 If you buy 100 of them, do you get to pau $99.99? If not, I would class 
 it as false advertising. 
If I bought a hundred of those crummy cables, I would pay the extra cent
because I WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO BUY A HUNDRED OF THOSE CRUMMY CABLES,
and therefore my math must be suspect as well ;)
