Next y'all will be suggesting that camera designers go out and take
photographs. As if!
"Image quality - that's about 3rd or 4th priority, right. First make
sure it looks cute and has LOTS of buttons and uses an old, cheap
chip and....."
Watch the way cars are assembled these days - the priority is speed
and simplicity in the car plant. In small cars he entire engine,
transmission and front suspension sub-assembly is lifted in from
below like a VW beetle and they expect the car to be dead of old age
before that lot comes out - about 10 years. If you can't change your
belts afterwards yourself they could care less 'cos you should take
it to the mechanic who bought $50k of specialised tools and equipment
off them, right? You're just being a damn economic subversive.
