Today I wrote about the developer (Armin Heinrich’s) who developed app for iPhone and Ipod Touch which now looks like it has been removed either by Apple or Armin. As I said kudos to developer who thought he might get good profit if reach people started buying 1 red diamond picture looking app. To be honest I am glad it was removed because people should put that money into charity and not some stupid picture app. Idea today on Plurk came from Wez who said he might develop iPhone app which will cost $1, now I like that!

They should have left it there. I think if somebody wants to pay for it they should be allowed to have it. Is it stupid… yes, should that stop the developer from profiting… no. Granted it would be nice to see a person donate that money to charity. Problem is that the people who could afford that and would give that money to charity are probably already giving that money to charity. People who would buy something like that and can afford it would just spend it on something equally useless(LV Handbag, Gucci shoes etc.). A status symbol is a status symbol no matter how you wear it.
@digitaltodd: I agree with you. Please check my post update in 5 minutes Ill show you how stupid reach people can be
“To be honest I am glad it was removed because people should put that money into charity and not some stupid picture app.”
You’ve got to realize that there are no real factors of production involved/no resources wasted with something like this. Money changes hands, but the value doesn’t disappear.
It’s not like they’re burning the wealth so *no one* will be able to put it to productive use — they’re just transferring it from one agent to the next.
Thankfully I wasn’t fooled into purchasing this app!
