Unlike Tyler Cowen, I didn't get mad that Apple iPhone early adopters were kvetching about having paid $200 more than more recent purchasers will pay.
I was going to be floored that Apple bribed the kvetchers with $100, except that it's $100 in store credit: that is, $100 in Apple swag rather than complete liquid/fungible $100. So good job Apple after all.
But the original complaint itself is a mind-boggling amount of chutzpah: They wanted the bleeding edge of technology (and the status that comes with it), so they paid for the privilege.
