Dyson has always part amazed, part horrified me. he's become inordinantly wealthy creating products which are almost universally more expensive but less performant (however you care to measure) yet somehow has convinced gazillions of people his premium priced products are better.

edit: I am currently in a large NHS hospital and every desk has one of those £300 fanless fans on them. what the fuck?

Premium-priced despite production having been offshored to Malaysia. Got to widen those margins to buy a country estate ( £17 million ) and a Gulfstream G650 ( £45 million ).
