$1,000 bar exam prep BarMax app now available on iPad
The BarMax app may cost a pricey $999.99, but its 1 GB of data softens the financial blow. Customers receive two months of lecture material, thousands of pages of documentation in electronic format, sample MBE questions, sample essay exams, flash cards and a built-in calendar and task list to help them study. Once a student purchases the app, he or she has lifetime access to the course materials and a direct connection with Harvard-educated lawyers who will field any questions. The primary competitor to BarMax is BARBRI, another bar exam preparatory company that lets customers add a $295 iPhone option to its $3,000-$4,000 traditional paper and computer-based course.

You'd think that at the very least a $1000 app would be universal! (this is an iPad version of an iPhone app) This is why I no longer buy iPhone apps for lack of an iPad version.

Exactly how does it soften the blow if the cost is still $1000.00
Even if it's a good value- isn't that what we hope and expect it is when we voluntarily purchase something?
Yes, because it's absolutely clear that the first thing would-be LAWYERS should learn in the process of gaining their professional certification (which includes ethics and intellectual property training) is how to steal software.
*facepalm*
Sarcasm alert. Hide yo kids, hide yo wives, and hide yo husbands 'cause you're making a simple rebuttal complex.

For some reason I just love that sentence.
..or about $1/mb. That makes Justin Bieber's album worth $36. That's assuming it's in a compressed MP3 format and not the retail CD. Probably a couple hundred right there.
Food for thought.
I thought this was for drink mixing. The lawyers I know would pass that "Bar" exam, too
