No, it implies the exact same thing - prices will rise as the market adjusts (and "economies of scale" start to crack).

No, that's not really the future. Here's the future: you don't get any privacy, period. Get over it. Live with it. Doesn't matter who you are - you don't get any. Oh, and you know what? The future has already arrive

Yes, I have passed many more than two days without any money in my pocket. As any human being, I've had my highs and lows. I've decided that I like the highs better and money is quite handy in that regard. What I'm saying is
