Samsung “nickles” and dimes Apple

posted by on 08.29.12 at 12:05 pm

I'm not sure if you've been keeping up with the Samsung v Apple hearings, but Apple has won a judgement of $1 billion from Samsung. So...

This morning more than 30 trucks filled with 5-cent coins arrived atApple’s headquarters in California. Initially,  the security company that protects the facility said the trucks were in the wrong place, but minutes later, Tim Cook (Apple CEO) received a call from Samsung CEO explaining that  they will pay $1 billion dollars for the fine recently ruled against the South Korean company in this way.

Full story can be found here.

Fiverr

Fiverr.com is pure genius. It's a marketplace for $5 gigs. People can offer any service they want for the set price of $5. When someone makes $5, Fiverr cuts $1 off for their own profit. The site blew up like crazy... So crazy that there are more than 75 copy-cat websites out there. Here is a list of a few of those clone websites.

The idea is kind of brilliant and also entertaining. While you don’t necessarily have assurance that your task will be completed to your standards, you are only shelling out $5 for the task, so it’s not a total loss if the gig falls through or isn’t done well. Fiverr will also post buyer feedback on people who perform tasks. Task performers will be given a positive feedback score, which can be seen by users who are considering hiring them for gigs.

Why couldn't we come up with this idea... Oh well.
