Google Straightens Out Its Stance On Paid Apps

Julie188 writes "When the Android Market began offering paid apps last month, developers with the unlocked version of Google's Android phone quickly learned that they couldn't access them. The policy, which threatened to alienate the small developer base that Google needs to nurture at all costs, didn't make much sense. And now, with the release of Version 1.1 of Android for the developer phone, developers can access paid apps — as long as they aren't copy-protected. But in a weird way, that's good news. Very few developers currently copy-protect their Android apps simply because Android's copy-protection scheme is notoriously weak."

world stock markets up 7-10% in just 2 days

scary. opens the window for many (older folks) who have lost nearly all, & are still paying attention (cheap enough) to recoup a few more pennies on the $.

why must the last of our dwindling dough be siphoned into the wall street of deceit betting pool, with short sellers, & folks from other countries, taking it all home at the end of the day?

as some things are clearly changing, other failed processes are being clung to as though our lives/well being depended on them. very misleading, as the total opposite is closer to the facts. the disproportionate allocation of assets has not changed... yet. we're still being encouraged to be debtors for life.

please do not be confused between 'religion' & being spiritual. taking care of each other is our purpose here. somehow that's become background noise to the greed/fear/ego based trappings of man'kind'.

1) Stock market manipulation is a lot harder than it sounds. Unless you have a very large, organized group of investors doing the short-selling, it won't work. Not only that, it'll attract a lot of attention very quickly.

2) Encouragement of the mainstream to be debtors for life goes back to the very foundings of civilization. Don't expect it to change.

3) You're right about point 3, but few seem to really understand what that means.

Your wpa_supplicant.conf should look something this:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
                ssid="YOURSSID"
                key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
                eap=TTLS
                anonymous_identity="anonymous"
                identity="USERNAME"
                password="YOURSECRET"
                priority=2
                phase2="auth=PAP"
}

(The ctrl_interface path might be different on the Android, so YMMV)
