It takes a special kind of asshole to complain that $10 is too much for an iPhone app, yet $5 would be perfectly justifiable.

Completely. This is honestly one of the most asinine attitudes I’ve ever seen by people on the internet, and that’s saying something. If a measly $5 is really wrecking your life then you have the wrong fucking phone and the wrong fucking rate plan and the wrong fucking taste for your budget. Sorry, folks.

Edit: To be clear, yes, I am the guy who was bouncing checks a couple days ago — so I obviously wasn’t saying that you should have to be a trust fund kid to own an Apple product. I was broke, and I didn’t buy any iPhone Apps (or much else) for a week. Big deal, but it’d never occur to me to complain about the price of an App just like it wouldn’t occur to me to walk into a McDonald’s and complain about the cost of a Big Mac. Wait for payday, mow somebody’s lawn, whatever… But whining about five bucks is a dick move.
