Last week when I was in NY, I passed a street vendor selling sunglasses for $5 a pair. They were clearly copies of best selling designs from top designers, and had fairly obvious quality flaws. It would be a miracle if any of those sunglasses lasted more than a couple of weeks. And yet several … Read more
Some guy named Bob probably hates me. I don’t know him and he doesn’t know me … but he’s the unfortunate registrant of Bob.com and has used his first name for his email address.
