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

24 Apr 2012

...
     When Office
Depot charges $15 for a simple Chinese-made 1m USB A-B 
 cable, I'm not surprised.  
 Last I checked, Best Buy was still selling Monster brand gold-plated
 1m USB cables for nearly $30.  
 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.
