$1,000 IPhone App? WTF!?

Ok so I was browsing for some iPhone readmes on google and I came across this article on a $1,000 app that was posted in August and then immediately taken down (obviously). The real real real crazy thing that blew my mind was that 5 idiots actually bought this app for $1,000 a download. What does this $1k app do you ask? Nothing, just displays a glowing red rock! ROFL!

The $1,000 application on Apple's App Store, which lets
people know how rich you are simply for buying it, has been removed without
explanation, making some developers wonder what it takes for Apple to pull the
plug.

The "I am Rich" application developed by Armin Heinrich, a German
software developer, does nothing more than display a picture of a red ruby on
the iPhone screen. After initially approving the $1,000 application, Apple
removed it from the store this week. Eight people managed to dish out $1,000 to
buy the useless application, generating about $5,600 in revenue for Heinrich and
$2,400 for Apple, which collects 30 percent of each sale on the App Store,
according to a blog on the Los
Angeles Times Web site.
