I have studied a Business marketing major in Oz during Uni. and
this was one of the points the professor made which really stick
hard in my head.
There are indeed lots of business tricks in the commercial world
which many people dont know of as consumers and it pretty much ties
in to other things in the environment as well.
Anothe rpopular trick is the product cycle, well u know that
Intel for example releases chips in incremental order but in fact a
supercomputer chip which is = 100 Core 2 Cpus is already been
invented in their secret labs.
But releasing this cpu may not make money for the company
as it will be very expensice initially and as a result is not
affordable to the masses and will come down in cost after a
while when none are buying it.
This business model will mess up their profit cycle and it is
the reason for that.
This is why the PxP is so farked
up... the dishonorable behavior, the greed for public money and the
lack of competition. Which is why
Dr Chee Soon Juan's cause is so important, to open up the playing
field so that it is fair for all-comers..
Intel can do that because AMD the
competitor is also doing the same crapz... coming out products with
incremental improvements.
