While whining about the relatively expensive prices for e-book readers in Malaysia:

Me: why is it that things “supposed” to make our lives better are so expensive!
God: because then they don’t break as fast? :S
Me: I mean entertainment gadgets are cheap compared to productivity tools :S
God: entertainment needs to be cheap for the masses to be happy!
God: productivity however needs to be expensive so lazy people will innovate!

I have awesome friends. And yes the nickname of the person I was talking to IS God, and it’s an awesome she!
