Did I miss the reports about the growing problem of people having just too much money? Because otherwise, I'm hard pressed to understand how someone like Peter Aloisson can make a business out of vulgarizing tech gadgets.

His latest creation, the iPhone Princess Plus, takes a perfectly good iPhone, studs it with about 17 carats worth of little diamonds, adds gold trim and slaps on a design that looks like a failed entry for a "The Golden Compass" logo. Price is 120,000 Euros (about $178,000), which does not include VAT tax, shipping, insurance or a reasonable explanation of why this seemed like a good idea at the time.
