JoeHobot says Aug 06, 2008 02:34PM I think this is ridiculous www.livecrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/2737038284_74e60fe2ac_o.png
codearachnid says Aug 06, 2008 02:36PM that's pretty clever - it's worth seeing is someone would bite
JoeHobot says Aug 06, 2008 02:37PM Headsvett no I saw it on Digg first, I don't listen or go to chris pirillo
JoeHobot says Aug 06, 2008 02:38PM I mean instead of giving $1000 for something good , people really buy this crap? Kudos to developer!
Headsvett says Aug 06, 2008 02:41PM wll ok, but it says lockergnome in the corner, but i guess thats from the guy who dugg it
JoeHobot says Aug 06, 2008 02:44PM Hope you like my digg - description digg.com/tech_news/iPhone_App_Developers_Scam
JoeHobot says Aug 06, 2008 02:45PM Olivia its just plain picture of red diamond that is selling for 999.99 on App store for Iphone or Ipod Touch.
Wez.me says Aug 06, 2008 02:45PM I'm gonna copy the image and create an iPhone app and give it away for $1, I wonder how many more sales I would make.
NickEntrepreneur says Aug 06, 2008 02:47PM the ironic thing is, the more we talk about it, the more likely it is that someone will buy on and make this guy richer!
Madame Maracas thinks Aug 06, 2008 02:48PM that stupidity and ignorance have a price, apparently $ 999!
Madame Maracas Aug 06, 2008 02:50PM I figured it was a ruby not a "red diamond" but then again, I"m not dumb or rich enough to find out. LOL
AnatomyAds Aug 06, 2008 03:08PM It's a good marketing ploy for getting people to look at his other apps.
Madame Maracas Aug 06, 2008 03:14PM I figure it's like over pricing land 3 x's over market in SL, not expecting it to sell, but if it does BONANZA! (worked for me once)
Madame Maracas thinks Aug 06, 2008 03:26PM status symbols are for the insecure those that truly have status don't need symbols, they know, & those that need to know it do too
Madame Maracas Aug 06, 2008 03:32PM hands them the spoof of the year award, they can collect it for a small fee of $ 2,000 !
Nunya☠B says Aug 06, 2008 04:17PM Emperor's New Clothes is all it is. BTW copying the pix and selling is copyright infringment. Pls don't,
Nunya☠B says Aug 06, 2008 04:17PM just to save you legal fees. someone will and they'll sue and make more money for 'lost revenue' than sales.
Madame Maracas Aug 06, 2008 04:17PM wouldn't be that hard to generate a similar idea/image and propagate it at a cut-rate as discussed above.
Madame Maracas Aug 06, 2008 04:21PM a nice sapphire blue maybe? tiger eye? Luscious Malachite? lotta options
Sir Proudgamer Aug 06, 2008 05:29PM FYI guys I am selling HAND Drawn Stick figures a status symbol worth every penny at cut rate price of $750
JoeHobot says Aug 06, 2008 06:04PM I am selling my post notices on how I build LiveCrunch for $2400 any bids? LOL...thats how crazy this app sounds..
simplyRik says Aug 07, 2008 02:26PM Obviously it is a developer trying to get publicity which is working.
SAMTiu says Aug 09, 2008 02:43PM it's not like ppl show what's on their iphone's screen all the time. The developer must still be getting a lot of money for it though
