"A razor-blade business model is one that involves initially selling a product for a low price in order to generate revenues from complementary products that it requires to be useful. The term is derived from the classic example: the sale of razors cheap, in order to sell blades at a high margin."

examples:
- Razor and Blades
- Printer and Cartridges
- Consoles and Games

disadvantages:
- competing with cheaper third party products

advantages:
- attracting & tie a customer to a product
- long term commitment

Hi Guys, I am working on a flash web site and I wanted to use oop but already got stuck with the simplest thing. Couldn't find any help with Google, but you might have an answer to it:

I want to do the following:

class MyClass {

/*.. some vars ..*/

function MyClass () { /*constructor*/
var colXml:XML = new XML(); 
colXml.load(xmlPath); 
colXml.onLoad = function(success) { 
this.doSomething(); //should call doSomething but doesn't because it's out of scope, I guess - how to solve it?
}
}

function doSomething () {
trace('success');
}

}

for some reason I can't call a function in my class...
any comments appreciated

"Over the last month, around 50 people have killed themselves using hydrogen sulphide gas generated in a bathtub by combining detergent and bath salts – a recipe that has spread recently in online forums [...]"

The Japanese Government is asking the ISPs to remove/block the links to the forums where the information was published. 

Japan has a high suicide rate anyway and this fast spreading "method" won't change much, it's just online now.

Prokhorov, Russians fifth-richest man is to run a social networking site just for the wealthiest peoples.

Seems that now almost every social circle gets ported to the web, which makes ultimately sense.

pluggedin.com was launched some days ago, it is basically a youtube like web site showing high definition music videos. 

unfortunately pluggedin.com has only been roled out to the us and canada market, this might mainly be due to legal reasons.
