They say those who actually made fortunes during the gold rush were the ones selling the pickaxes.

I still believe that half this swell is artificial, supported by an entire greedy industry that is blatantly price-gouging. Yes there’s a real boom, but just like egg producers who artificially inflated their prices during the egg crisis well beyond the new stress point, the same thing is happening here. We’re all being fucked and swindled at every possible opportunity.

About the only upside to this that I can think of is that maybe, just maybe, programmers will start being more frugal with their memory usage. Everything else just sucks.

The price of creating and shipping the ram has not gone up, tho. People just saw the rarity and decided to jack the everloving shit out of the price of stock they already held.
