10,000 downloads at $5 a piece is better than 1,000 downloads at $50 a piece. and when i say better, i mean, makes you not seem so inconsistently dick-like while netting identical profits.

Way to bump yourselves from relative obscurity into total obscurity, guys... I think WA is super neat, and showed a bunch of coworkers what it could do, but none of us use it because it's so specialized. I pull it up every month or two when I have a specific scientific question and that's about it.

@jepzilla:
I don't think anyone who is familiar with Wolfram the company or Wolfram the founder was surprised by the $50 app price. It's not like there's a Mathematica for Kids or a Mathematica for Personal Finance. Wolfram doesn't make money by appealing to the masses.

Anecdotally, seeing what Mathematica can do and what it costs, I'm surprised there's not a single copy on any of the thousands of computers at the college I work at... I think if I had those very specialized needs it would be a godsend.

So, if I can't have a proper free version of your software on my mobile device, I might as well improvise...
Such as, oh, I don't know, pirating the full Mathematica software and running it on my laptop.

I feel like there's a logical hole in here somewhere. I won't say where it is.

That's why I love Remote Desktop on my phone.

Exactly. You're stealing computer software to get back at them for overpricing phone software.
If you really wanted to show them who's boss, you would pirate the iPhone software.

This is a yearly showing at work. Always gets laughs. #forklift

Holy cow I just watched it again. I must also point out that each box weights about 855lbs where I work at. The combined weight on a rack exceeds 100,000lbs+ easily.

The part that gets me is the way the support structures give way. Normally, these would be engineered to hold more than twice the actual full load capacity, but these seem to just fall apart with the slightest impact. Those shelves were definitely overloaded to start with. #forklift

"This one's damaged stock. We'll have to dispose of it."
"But the label's just a little-"
"It's DAMAGED. We'll have to DISPOSE of it."
"Ohhhh... right!" *takes bottle* #forklift
