Sounds like something Microsoft would sell.

“Sounds like something Microsoft would sell.”

- To solve the problem of your gun not firing, we suggest you do a clean install. This will consist of complete dis-assembly of your gun, your house, and your neighbors house, and then reassembly.

- We strongly suggest you upgrade to Bullets 7.0

- Try racking the slide of your gun three times, while simultaneously moving the holster loop back and forth and applying the safety on alternate steps. If this doesn't fix the problem, a clean install is recommended.

- Your gun not firing is actually a feature not a bug, designed into the bullets to prevent you from damaging your hearing.

The Steve Jobs' version is even worse: You only get to keep licensing the ammo, and the license agreement requires you to give the rights to all your guns to Apple.

About 10 or so years ago I worked for a co which needed more
speed from a higher priced ‘professional class’ video card product line than from it’s lower priced ‘consumer’ model.

The parts used in the two cards were mostly identical where it mattered.

One was for ‘serious’ apps like Solidworks, the other was for gamers, poseurs, or Flash artists.

They had different drivers and different GPU clock speeds as sold. Russian hackers figured out that they could create a new firmware download for the GPU and the proper Windows registry/ini file incantations to allow the cheap card to use the expensive card’s driver.

Since the Russian gamers had figured out how to speed up the GPU clock the only way to go was to detect the card’s
id string and add sleeps to the software rendering pipeline, according to the card’s price point.

This is a common buisness problem, how to create an illusion of more value for $$.
