  • "Sorry, but you clicked ‘okay’ on the terms and conditions. It specifically says that we reserve the right to alter or remove software offerings on our devices at our discretion.

    It also says that your first-born child is to be delivered to Samsung headquarters freight prepaid within 90 days of acknowledgement of the terms. I see from our automated face tracking that you have three children and we have not yet confirmed receipt of… let’s see… Molly, is it? I’ll give you a 30 day grace period, after which we will remotely melt your television. How does that sound?"




  • I seem to recall high end watches being a way to avoid carrying large amounts of cash across borders. Maybe even for money laundering (although that seems cumbersome).

    People can carry tens or hundreds of thousands across borders in their luggage as personal wardrobe accessories. Once they arrive at their destination, find a dealer who will buy a watch for cash and they have loads of local currency without paying bank transaction fees or getting government haircuts.

    Not that I think that’s what’s going on here, but it may be the media shining a spotlight on it for some reason.
