Kid Buys Stuff $6000 On App Store, Unknowingly. Apple Issues Refund!

Look, when you've billions of dollars in your bank accounts - you can always refund $6000 to a kid who unknowingly bought stuff worth $6000 on App Store. That's what Apple did for Lily Neale, 8-year old daughter of aerospace engineer Lee Neale.

Those of you with kids - Apple devices may not be ready for your kids. Or shall we say, your bank accounts may not be ready for your kids.

What say you?

    This is hillarious First the parent's negligence which can be seen by the way their bank account has been linked to their mobile phone is seen clearly

    The child chose an app worth $6000 What in the world could be that costly
    Next apple surely got some name in this by appeasing a crwod way up in the ladder

    But for others just another story to publicise the brand as a benefactor of masses

    Well don't be surprised when I tell you that I've seen a 3 year old Kuwaiti girl carry a Nokia 6600 as if it was a toy phone back in early 2002 when that phone was a mighty expensive smartphone.

    P.S: Where do you think rich people throw their money? An average guy and a rich guy - both use iphone 5 - what difference does it make?

    In Kuwait, the people are so full of pride. My dad's boss had a Nokia N73 (which he bought on the 2nd day after it was officially launched in Kuwait at a wooping high price, and the next day morning my dad saw him walking around the corridor making a really important phone call after which he was really angry and pissed off. When he got back into his office room, the boss summoned the peon to get him a hammer. And before my dad could stop him, he had smashed the N73 with the hammer! There's another boss with whom this boss is in constant competition. Say, If one guy has a 2012 model Chevrolet Caprice and the other guy buys a 2013 model of the same car, the first guy would sell his car to someone else (often at a cheaper price) and buy the latest model of a car better than Caprice. In Kuwait, you'd find a lot of affordable Mercedes Benz second hand variants which the Kuwaitis exchange very often (they usually change cars every 8 months to one year)

    The reason why children are prone to illness is their lack of exposure to physical exercise

    "C'on guys, lets grab a football and rock n roll in the rain."

    I wonder how many kids do that these days. More over, how many parents allow that today. ๐Ÿ˜
