Professional advice
Anil gives the best advice on pricing your work, specially when negotiating with heartless corporations:
I think I came up with my best suggestion today, and it involves only two simple steps:
1. Slap the client in face.
2. Tell the client your hourly rate.
If the person looked more shocked, horrified, offended, hurt, saddened, or wounded by the slap in the face, then you are still pricing yourself too low.

And all this time I have been nice and smiling!
