You see, the audio industry took a nod from government contractors that charged Uncle Sam  $10K for hammers and $40K for toilet seats. They finally caught on.
The margins on such items are North of 100%.

And Geoff, it takes a troll to know one. And no, I didn't say ALL toilets did I? Please learn to read and understand before responding.
Geoff: calm down man! Advertising, by definition, is preying on uninformed people in order to inform them and attract their attention long enough to elicit an emotional response. Only then does a potential customer begin the process of "ownership," meaning, "I gotta have it." It's not a judgement call, it's generically what it is and what it's intended to do.

Jeez, I had no idea that comment would elicit such a response. Maybe I should go into advertising.
I just finished reading the description of The Super Intelligent Chip and, having worked closely with engineers and manufacturers of REAL quantum dots, and original patent holders Bawendi (MIT), Alivasatos (UC Berkeley) and others, for several years, well, frankly, I don’t know where to begin, but most of what is portrayed in that diatribe is complete horse hockey. A quantum dot is not an "artificial atom." It is a nanocrystal semiconductor. Plus, they fully quench when exposed to other metals, so that destroys any emissive properties they may have once had.

I have been accused above of being a test tube baby, repeating myself, being out of touch with reality, and having attended school for too long.

What IS fascinating to me though is how sociopaths, instead of being empathetically helpful to others in any way, shape or form, or offering useful information, simply project themselves and their characters onto others.
