Who cares that ASICMiner sold the first USBs at 2BTC apiece, quickly making $1,000,000 from less hashing speed than a $30,000 1.5TH minirig?
Stop comparing the price of a June miner with an October miner. They are not comparable.
Are the October miners faster? Are they slower? Are they different colors? Were they redesigned? Can they dance and sing?
