I agree. It does seem most enjoy the bland and boring mass produced whatever. And its not just with audio or club is not allowing Anheuser bush products in or club frig. They sue microbrewery s out of business and is just crap beer so the ban. So many where saying I luv my bud its the best so we arranged a blind taste tests Bud Miller Coors. All the brand drinkers could not pick there brand out. We added a micro brew and used 4 they all picked the micro beer as best thinking it there brand. Since they know the name brands are mostly the same and poor tasting at that, they excepted the ban. We got this idea from a movie called beer wars.

Last July, I wanted a laptop with s-video out, to be able to hook some old TVs up to it. Naturally, it has HDMI out. But a laptop is only made large scale, now, so the options must be desired by some large swath of people, and so the s-video port is an example of something a million people would not use, and it raises the price five bucks and they would lose the competition. Actually, I've been on the other side of this equation with a computer company, talking about little things that "cost ten bucks - do we want that?" (And then maybe "no" is all we need)
I recently got into just such a situation. A friend's TV with an s-video input on it. I thought about the store, and checked their web site. Sure, radio shack has a converter for that. So I drove to there and to the best buy, and neither has one in retail stock - nobody uses those things. You have to order it online.
That's right. Nobody does use these things, or maybe 0.1% of people do. So I have to order one online. Anything made on a large scale is a box. Anything done individually is in human terms and expresses uniqueness and creativity - it has life in it for that.
As I see it, "zombieland" is the antithesis to boxes. Since all of the life was squoze out of them, the aspect of our lives in boxes loses its creativity, uniqueness and participation in design and manifestation. Walk like a zombie.
Of course, we are also supposed to have JIT to help with this, but it doesn't seem to be happening here.
Cheers,
Mark
