4. This is not just a ploy used in ink jet cartridges.

Half gallons of ice cream, are no longer 1/2 gallon, although the container is the same size as it used to be. Cereal, coffee, and other dry goods all still come in the same size box/container as years ago, but the contents are less. Companies think the American consumers are stupid and don't notice, so they shave an ounce here and an ounce there. When they are prouducing millions of a partcular item, that means millions of ounces they are saving. Oh, and they raise the price as well. Not surpised HP and probably all other printer companies are doing the same thing.
