As far as I know, MBA is not a university degree… it is a professional degree… but that's not the point here ;)
Phew... So I have to fit into the role of a hoarder. The most expensive app I bought was Navigon for €89. :D
MBA costs €79,99 ;) and not €299,99
apps more expensive than iPad :D
I don't understand the overpriced autistic app. How do you think the parents of these children are millionaires? Fortunately, there are much cheaper alternatives apparently with the same functionality. By the way, have you noticed how many of those expensive apps have completely non-standard GUIs and generally look awful?
Well, I think I AM RICH deserves a few thousand for that idea and the audacity of the developers :D
...so "I Am Rich" got me :-) ...I'm going to "develop" something similar right away :-)
