HP printer ink more expensive than blood

IT MAG Gizmodo has done a price comparison between HP ink and other valuable fluids.

It turns out that an HP black ink cartridge costs 71 cents a ml. But if you were to buy blood from the Red Cross it would set you back just 40 cents a ml.

The world's most famous anti-biotic, penicillin will set you back seven cents a ml while Vodka will only set you back a few cents.

So a couple of pages of text will probably cost you as much per ml as a Baccalian night out in St Petersburg, reducing the value of your blood, and give you change for an anti-biotic afterwards. Unless we have got our figures wrong. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
