“I asked the brewmaster, Jean-Marie Rock, which American beer he likes best. He thought for a moment, squinting down his bladelike nose, and narrowed his lips to a point. Then he raised a finger in the air. “Budweiser!” he said. “Tell them that the brewer at Orval likes Budweiser!” He smiled. “I know they detest it, but it is quite good.””

“At one time, the President and Vice-President were given three-inch-high models of the Washington Monument to put beside their beds. They had simply to knock them over to summon the guards. But the models were abandoned after Vice-President Dan Quayle - noted for being clumsy - knocked his over late one night while making love to his wife. In seconds, the door burst open, the lights went on and Mrs Quayle was thrown out of bed to the floor as bodyguards flocked around her husband to ensure his safety.”

“Never pander to cheapskates. You’ll get emails, blog posts, App Store reviews, Twitter statuses, and comments from cheapskates complaining about the price. (If you don’t, your price is too low.) Ignore them. If you pander to them, they’ll keep complaining until your price is $0, then they’ll complain about the color scheme. You will never satisfy everyone. You don’t need to. There are plenty of people out there willing to pay reasonable prices for apps of value, but like happy blog readers and intelligent YouTube watchers, they tend to be less vocal.”
