No, they should not do that at all. What they do is abusing their power. You should be able to use whatever you think is best.
I love how the more you get into comments, the less informed the commenters are. If you wish, you can setup a website for processing purchases of your game, even if it's distributed via the market. Or you can skip the market altogether and go Gameloft's way.
And there is pretty much no balls behind those promises. Microsoft uses patents to attack features in Linux kernel, yet these guys are yet to release even a simple press release.
Sorry dude, but if you can't afford a new HDD once per 2 years, then you probably don't have as much music as the wealthy guy does. Those pirated FLACs are a different story.
FYI: Taking the highest price per GB for storage would bring you to $3.5(Enterprise Class 512GB SSD). Those $3.5 let you store 4 FLAC albums that would cost $9.99 each. Thus your costs for owning and storing 4 albums is $43.47. Per GB cost of a HDD is below $0.10 these days. I really don't know what are you talking here about.

Patent trolling need not be from a NPE(non-practicing entity). But legally it it's an advantage to the patent holder not to be a practicing entity.
And I suppose they think that MS is seen as a trustworthy by the EC. There is a big conflict between EC and Microsoft that was never resolved, even though the oversight is over.
But I guarantee you he didn't undergo anything as publicly humiliating as his own malicious and hate-filled public attack on Rick Santorum.
When your school is your whole world, you getting bullied is even more humiliating than anything written on the internet. But I bet you, sir, were never bullied. And since you were never bullied, I suspect you were the bully...
maintaining the status quo and not allowing the creation of a completely new (and in most people's view, radical) social institution of marriage based on love and consent
Yeah... One outspoken person mounted a successful campaign against another outspoken person:-D
If you think this is cyberbullying, then you are the bully in your school/work/social surroundings.
There are times when using an ill fit image crashes everything.
What now? Ill fit images never crash anything. You can leak images and fill up the bitmap space, but that is a different thing.
Otherwise apps will consume it til theres none left which leads to a crash.
Apps on Android have a set max amount of heap space. Tablet versions can request more, but generally it's 25mb. As a result it's like a queue, the last app that you used will be killed off for the new one to get the 25mb it needs. Going beyond 25mb can be easily caught at testing even in the emulator.
Android only tells apps to dump state once ram fills up, starting with the app that has spent the most time idle.
Not true. Once the app has been "closed" it's still allowed to reside in memory and even do stuff. However, there is an expectation that that particular process may be killed at any time without prior notice. Background services are handled a bit differently though.

And so Google are going the same way. Oh well.
They didn't "just decide", it was a requirement for ages.

Yeah... As in, read the damn Terms of Service agreement and follow them.

It kind of works.
I don't know, Putin is being kept in power quite long by actual electorate.
Can somebody explain to me what they mean by "not smart enough"?
It's right there in the summary:
people are inherently unable to judge the competence of other people
I mean, I expect people not to RTFA, but the summary?!?!?!
Abolished? Maybe in current form. But it should exist in a modernized form.

Do you have the definition of the word "often" different from mine? Because in my understanding often is not a synonym of always.
Most are weasels that are afraid that they will be exposed for their lack of knowledge. So don't pray for it, though it should be like that by law.
I'm using Cyrillic alphabet, you insensitive clod!
Oversight is over though. That fine is pretty much one of the aspects of the conflict.

Ron Paul is the most consistent and principled of the bunch. He's crazy.... But that is another issue.
If it weren't for the two-term limit, we'd probably have Presidents-for-life.
You mean like FDR?
But I guarantee you he didn't undergo anything as publicly humiliating as his own malicious and hate-filled public attack on Rick Santorum.

That was the case just 100 years ago.

No... They are hoarding stupid patents so that they can sue anyone who uses these stupid rules!
Nope. OEM EULA was amended since XP. It now says that the OEM version is only refundable as part of the hardware it came with.

And Linux should crash more because it supports more architectures than Windows.
