i once talked to an investor with a turtleneck who had alot of money about a new concept: What if we create minimalistic sleek looking laptops and smartphones, using the same parts as all other pcs and smartphones... but sell them for 3 times more than the competition just because of clever branding.

He said "no customer is that stupid and pretentious" and left.

A couple of years later i saw the guy, still in that same turtleneck, on TV presenting the launch of my idea. Asshole.
