Not a very good one, if he is reliant on customer mistakes. That's normally Microsoft's sales strategy.

Old wive's tale and completely untrue.

I was only kidding.
Just remember where the original London Bridge is now and you'll see the real power transfer.Yup Londoners love thier bridges , and people across the world come to London to visit them
Read your own citation as you clearly didn't bother with mine. It has a section called 'In Popular Culture'.
Awesome , you found one citation on the "web" which clearly invalidates all the other "theories" around this "wife's tail"...
I'll be honest, I don't exactly use webcitation.org as fact....
Why is an American entrepreneur buying an obsolete old bridge that was unsuitable for the increased volume of modern traffic and would otherwise have been demolished evidence of "the real power transfer"?
MH01, do the world a favour and actually read what is quoted both me and linked by yourself before making any more awesome comments. You have clearly done neither, otherwise you would have realised that webcitation is nothing but an internet archiver and is hosting a local newspaper article from many years ago, which had an interview with all parties concerned.
Even the Wikipedia article you linked to (of course Wikipedia is FACT) pours cold water over your theory:

Thanks for somehow making 'wife's tail' out of wives tale. I did like that.
Look, it's a cool story told around the pubs here in London, I'm not even British. I was told the story . Really don't care about its validity , i also like the story of King Arthur
dig into it and lots of material to disprove a lot of it ...I really do not care , though trust me most visitors think tower bridge is London Bridge....hence the cool story...
Can I ask you, if you were conned into buying the wrong bridge, would you admit it to the world ? Or say you bought the one you intended ?
Heck yeah, he doesn't take crap from anyone - especially the Japanese
He's playing a buffoon brilliantly (he's like a british version of George Bush junior) - but then again, if I were him I would much rather be looked at like "Colonel" Tom Parker, Elvis Presley's manager; as completely and utterly ruthless. Hal Wallis, a famous movie producer, said he would much rather make a deal with the devil than with Elvis' manager.

Tim Cook should have announced that Apple was considering building the bridge. Then Samsung would have jumped in demanding that they be allowed to build the bridge using Apple's bridge plans .
