Maybe if Steve had dropped the price of the iPod to $50 a year after the device was released in 2001, a priceless life would not have been stolen over a crappy white hard drive. He needs to realize, when you make the items too valuable in terms of price, you make both the owner and device into something of a target. Its about time the price drop and I hope Microsoft does some really agressive market to kill it out, its gotta stop, 300 to 500 dollars for an iPod is ludicrous, even the mini is not worth the price of admission, not even the shuffle.
May that childs soul rest in peace, I hope he tells God in heaven to put Apples market share of the desktop to 0.01% as punishment. |

I agree that the iPod (and practically every Apple product) is overpriced, but neither Apple nor Steve Jobs should be blamed for this. Blame rests solely with the people that committed the crime. Whereas it is iPod today, it used to be Air Jordan shoes. Tomorrow it will be something else. The price or desirability of something is no excuse for theft or murder. There are many other ways these people could've acquired an iPod, even for "free" (free if you don't mind giving away your personal info).

#1 yes, it's overpriced, but it's not Steve Jobs or Apple's fault. In that case, blame the parent for buying his teenage song such an expensive gift. However, that would also be unfair, this man must be suffering a lot. It's society in general that it's to blame.
It's a sad story, but I personally think that Steve Jobs did the right thing. |
