You didn't really bought that, didn't you??
I bought it for him.
Wow, my Nokia E90 is rich too...shame I don't have a second camera to hand!
Well, I could "programm" this application and make it look the same and sell for $500 in AppStore :-)
But then it would only be half as good. Like Ben's cheap Rolex.
Oops - Someone bought it by mistake and isn't happy.
Yeah, "thinking it was a joke". Can you guess the nationality where adults claim protection for stupidity? It is NOT a scam. It does exactly was it says, and it costs exactly what is listed.
I say good luck to the author, what a brilliantly simple idea!
When you gave me the link I first did not believe it. How can somebody be so stupid...
Looks like it's already been pulled.

Sure, it's stupid to click that button. But if you throw enough users at it, it's pretty much guaranteed that someone will click it without thinking.
Indeed. That is why you must create software for as big a market as possible. You should be able to make a living if not a killing by selling to idiots who have no idea what they are buying.
Looks like 8 were sold before it got pulled
