Several days ago, a “developer”, loaded  a $999.99 application onto the Apple iPhone app store. He called it “I am rich”, and it was supposed to be for anyone who wanted to show off just how rich and impressive they are. Apparently, the ability to waste $1000 on an application that does nothing more than show a red orb is a good way to show how loaded you are.

So far, so bad. The app has already been pulled by Apple, but not until some idiot actually thought it might be funny to click the “buy now” button, just to see what would happen.

Of course, most people know about the Apple 1-click system, where, as the name implies, you click once, and the purchase is completed.

Needless to say, the system worked perfectly, and the guy got his $1000 useless app downloaded directly to his iPhone. Now he’s trying to find a way to wiggle his way out of it. Good luck with that.
