Was perusing thru my dealnews notifications when this caught my eye:

Are these people smoking crack or something?

"Duuude!"

It's targeted at the Apple eaters- they'll think paying an absurd price somehow makes their bending over justified.

With C2Ds and I3/5/7s, Apple stuff has never had more in common with PCs, yet the prices are still up there. Take the ipad- "only" ~$850 and NO PORTS... "But it gotz wireless and a neat magnetic self-supporting stand thingy."

They're all nuts.

Two points:
1 read the name of the company again. Eh?
....they are definitely from "Another World".

2 as was already said....most of their customers for that stuff are MAC owners.
....(editorial, deleted)

What more can we say?

OWC actually has some pretty good deals. If you thunk those prices are expensive go to apple.com and actually look p RAM prices on that!

It settled then... going to buy some cheap ram, figure out a way to program those spid chips to whatever, print out some fancy labels, and then proceed to financially rape yuppies.

I was lookin at Newegg and they have 4GB ddr-1333 laptop dimms for less than $20USD with free next day shipping for me since im close to their memphis warehouse.

Im a bit torn though on getting a 2gb that way i would have a maching pair in my laptop... but honestly for an extra 2 gigs for around $5 I would be stupid to go smaller.

Macs won't take regular RAM?

Re: $900 for two 8 gig sticks of RAM...

Of course they take perfectly normal PC RAM
Just some of the older (G5) computers are really picky about having dentical matched pairs.

I almost forgot about high priced HDMI cables.

But they have gold plated contacts man! I can tell the difference in picture quality between gold plated contacts and not .

Targeted at the same group of people who think wrapping caps in wood will improve the audio quality and they're willing to pay for it.

Come to think if it I never gave it much thought what are standard video and audio connectors normally plated with chrome (for silver) and yellow nickel (for that off gold color)?
