For future reference, quote parts of the article, and include pictures.  And yeah, I guess it's alright, not a huge fan of skins personally.

The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

They will be cheap. I'm almost certain that most people won't be buying $300 cameras for their phone and $200 batteries. Only thing I could see being really pricey in general is the CPU.
