walmart’s "bundle" scams
step 1: walmart obtains a high-profile hard-to-find item.
step 2: walmart sells this item only as a “bundle” with accessories to increase their profit.
step 3: some douche like me buys one.
step 4: walmart ships all the accessories and charges you for them.
step 5: walmart delays the shipping date of your hard-to-find item, consistently, akin to “chasing [...]

hrm.
it just occured to me.. what if.. purely hypothetically, apple decided to have an “ipod update” for all ipods that just so happened to carry an extremely malicious and contagious windows virus?
