The bad weather situation here in Western Europe reminds me of another good economic model besides the long tail one. I would call it the UMBRELLA economic model.
The analogy goes like this:
You buy an umbrella to protect yourself from the rain.
When it starts raining there is mostly wind associated, and than you take out the umbrella; just at that moment the umbrella breaks and you have to buy a new one.
The UMBRELLA economic model is about making products that are not only letting you down right for the purpose that they were bought, but also make you buy a new one. Amazing. Wonder why some banks have put an umbrella in their logo :))
