Currently reading The Undercover Economist by Tim Harford, which is decent.
Very interesting section on price targeting, basically the methods by which firms identify customers who are willing to pay more for products. So for example IBM made's cheaper printers actually cost them more to produce than the ones which sell more expensively, because the only difference between them is that they've put a chip in to the lower-price ones to make them run more slowly. They literally spend extra money slowing them down, effectively sabotaging their own product, so they can create two price brackets.
It does make sense in a way though, if you think about for example software - they develop the full, professional-level version first, then strip out a load of features for the cut-price freebie or "home" edition. So more effort actually goes into making the one that markets for less (or even no) money.

Due to my massive bus trek in quest of Heelan League fitba i took my kindle

"When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops" by the late great George Cairlin. That guy is was one funny c@nt. Tried to finish it but the low sun flickering through the trees is making me want to fit

My buddy left me about 10GB of Kindle books when he went to retire in Portugal. Just had a scan and found this one and 3 others by GC.

I'm reading a Chris Kuzneski (sp?) book just now, but will have a read of this after that. Got to find something to do with 28 days on the rig!
