This was a pretty interesting story. Talks about Osram (and others) engineering planned obsolescence. Its all pre WW(1?2?).. (so fanboys don't get testy! 
) just some history on the ENTIRE lighting industry that I didn't know about before... there's a lightbulb in CA that's still on and has been burning since 1901, that's 118 years!...
Get stoned, push play...
