Guest,DB is on the right track. It's about selling stuff whether it works or not. Most things are not designed or engineered, just cobbled together to look good to a certain subset of foolish (targeted) consumers, especially those who have been identified as needing to be the first ones on the block to buy the newest widget.
I am not exempt from this problem. My list of unacceptable stuff that I have bought is far too long.
