Personally Mark, I don't believe in corporate pricing greed.
Maximizing profit is their business. Corporations may indeed charge what is considered 'high' prices, but only up to the point that consumers perceive it as
too high (greedy), at which point they don't buy or take their business elsewhere (you practice this per your previous posts). Then the corporation either restructures their pricing or sales decline, etc. Striking the balance between keeping the customer and making as much as possible is their job. You all still are buying updates, right
This is the '
vote with your pocketbook' action, and it is in place all the time, whether you are cognizant of it or not. So, I view Apple's prices as high, but until they start losing customers over it I don't think the label greedy applies.
