There's a neogothic bridge spanning the East River that I'd like to sell these people. It even has some notches

actually, Apple selling it for the price they do is shameful ...

The shame and guilt is mutually shared between parties.

Selling it is shameful. Throw it in the damn box, its a min 2k machine. If they lose it, give them another for free when they flash their machine at the genius bar. Don't even bother to keep tabs on serial abusers that just want to stockpile them if that's their thing.

What is this world
 
This needs to be bundled with $13/h nanny provided by Apple's contractor for best customer service
 
Guarantee that you can find a knockoff that works just at as well for $15
Which is why Apple sells theirs for more. There wouldn’t be a vibrant 3rd party market if Apple priced their accessories for cheap.

My question is what is the issue that drove the need to offer a cloth. Are the new screens more susceptible to fingerprints? Seems reminiscent of when Apple designed silicone rubber iPhone 4 bumper cases. They clearly knew about the iPhone 4 antenna issue in advance of announcement, but likely found out too late to make any design changes.
 
I was just telling a friend yesterday that, back when I got a 3rd generation iPod in 2003, it came with (words that would never be associated with Apple today) a dock, an attachable remote, a carry case with belt clip-on, and extra ear cushions along with the device, charging cable, power adapter, and earbuds. It's almost disgraceful that they actually sell this rag for $19, and am surprised that they already sold all the twenty five that they produced.

When they get sued for the anti reflective coating eroding from flawed mortal fingers, they can point to having already offered a viable solution: rigorous elbow grease and scrutiny 24/7
 
Who on earth is buying these for that price!?

When did Apple stop including the black screen cleaning cloths with some of their products? I still have a few lying around but can't remember what they came with.
 
It’s almost like these goons sitting behind closed doors at internal executive meeting where one guy cackles in laughter when he says let’s go ahead and make this rag offer at $10 and watch how we sell out of these to the losers who eat up everything we dump out! Tim Cook then interjects and says that’s extremely rude of you to say these things…then does a 180 and says we need to sell it at $19 instead!
 
Can it double up as a mouse pad? Looks rigid enough from the first pic.
