i really cannot afford an apple for another 800 months



After some Microsoft bashing some days back, today it’s the turn of the Apple’s website. I just went to their online Indian store to see how much premium they charge from the people of this developing country with so pathetic per capita income that it surprises people of the developed world that how could anyone here who want to buy original software can actually afford to do so! The prices were as expected shocking to me. But nothing shocked me more than the small typo they had on the MAIN PAGE!

They listed a Power G5 Mac for a cooool $158,600. That comes to around 7,137,000 INR. Whew… That is almost 800 months of my current salary. Yeah, I don’t earn good money :P . But still it’s a stupid stupid typo, enough to cause some heart aches to the general public…

By the way, Finding Nemo is an awesome movie! :D

Update: Last time I checked, this typo was fixed. But it still is bloody darn expensive!
