I'm not trying to be harsh, but really, just what segment of the technology community are you referring to when you say "geeks"? Coders? I only ask because this is a news message board on YC, so its kind of the pot calling the kettle black. To most people everyone on this board would be a geek. I say embrace your fellow programmer and don't discriminate against him how ever much he may remind you of Wayne Knight in Jurassic Park.
A decent article on pricing, but I wish the article was contextualized in a larger discussion of revenue models that included applications that provide free services - its too much a part of thew new wave of web apps to ignore.
