Mobile gaming revenue as a whole is highly dependent on microtransactions for it's revenue, which I think is a trend which will crash and burn... that might just be hopeful thinking though.
As for moving on, it didn't really. At most mobile competes with PC and handheld casual gaming. The revenues in PC/console gaming aren't going away (at least not any farther away than other luxury items in well established markets) regardless of what the mobile game market does.
Sure, but every PC game sold is potentially one less XBOX game sold, some forces in Microsoft actively work against PC gaming... the Windows 8 team hard selling the upgrade with a new windows 8 exclusive DirectX version and Windows 8 exclusive games isn't helping either (with Windows 7 they had the courtesy of porting the new driver model to Vista, courtesy is lost on them now).
But you miss what concentrates the capital... the increasing rent load.
You can produce a lot, but you can't produce land, there are no more frontiers, there is no more shortage of labour... all the old forces which blunted the sharp edges of feudalism have disappeared.
Increasing thermal cycling is a good way of increasing your maintenance bills... and maintenance on nuclear power plants is rather expensive. Lets see how it works out in the market.
The state didn't ban shit... the counties did. Personally I think it wasn't so much gas and oil companies, but your ex-neighbours being sick and tired of the pollution... not helped by the inevitable assholes who throw garbage in them.
That's the problem with the libertarian ideal, people are assholes... so it only works when your neighbours are really fucking far away. Which I imagine is the primary reason why you have less problems with your current state, lower population density.
Huge is relative... huge compared to current US imports of oil? Not exactly. That's why the military is training to suppress riots and DHS is buying bullets and guns... once the rest of the world stops paying for the US's bread and circuses the riots will start.
All Obama is doing is kicking the can, nothing more and nothing less. Under Obama the rich got richer and the poor got poorer, that's business as fucking usual... FDR was a socialist, Obama doesn't even compare.
The problem with color e-ink as it exists is that it's RGB with maximum 33% brightness for white... which sucks.
We need stacked CMY(K) before colour e-ink becomes interesting, unfortunately because they need 3 or 4 active planes compared to an emissive display (or RGB e-ink) it's just too expensive.
Why do they need to be recharged in a year? Simply checking orientation with a microcontroller in deep sleep the rest of the time shouldn't take that much power.
The process I'm talking about is electrocatalytic.
The US is sitting pretty good as far as solar is concerned (unlike say the EU). If you invest the fat bank account you will have enough income to afford to stay in the penthouse before the bank account runs dry.
Not an insurmountable problem... you could put a void in the heatsink solution which you fill with water+antifreeze during normal operation, but evacuate when the batteries get too cold (they generate enough heat internally during operation to warm themselves up if they can retain the heat).
Electricity to methane is already claimed to be 50% efficient, it's not as ideal as petrol/diesel but we can make do with it for everything but planes (which can run on biofuels). Ideally we will find some high efficiency conversion to convert methane to propane... but as I said, we can make do with methane.
I see no problem with replacing fossil fuels, other than that as a society we have become completely unable to sacrifice for a communal good and the market is being engineered for a sudden collapse so market forces won't be able to create the transition.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's really the way it helps people, to pause the repetitive strain for a while and do something different instead of just going on with the pain.
So the banks were completely rational and only made subprime loans because they feared some nebulous enforcement potential under the CRA... lets ignore there is very little proof for that assertion for a moment, answer me this.
Why was the rest of the financial system so insane to buy the MBS's build on top of those loans?
The loans which governments forced on the banks were an infinitesimal part of the subprime bubble. The most you can say is that Freddy&Fannie's lose standards and losses are on the head of the US government (allowing mixed public/private model with short term bonus incentives for the executives was insane) in the end those two were only a small part of the market though.
Everything else was just plain gambling gone wrong.

On paper ...
Increasing thermal cycling is a good way of increasing your maintenance bills ... and maintenance on nuclear power plants is rather expensive. Lets see how it works out in the market.
If you have hydro you can store solar and wind generated electricity ...
Without exponential growth or redistribution rent seeking will concentrate capital, which is unsustainable.
Economists are generally not lovers of redistribution ... so exponential growth it is.

Nuclear can supply base load, but base load is not this :
"power that you can have whenever - and in most cases wherever"
Base load is the predictable part of the load ... if you want power whenever, you need the peak load power plants (which are not nuclear).

They share the profits they scam off the non credit card users ... they don't give it back, they allow you to collaborate in the scam.
You could just drill the tree and put it inside.

The US has had a trade deficit for almost 40 years ...
This is for thin film cells (supposedly cheap, but silicon has a habit of outcheaping newcomers over and over again).

This is limited intake alone.
Some sports broadcasters use 1080i60 ... of course 720p60 is superior, but sheep like high numbers.
The problem seems to be a fragile single sourced supply chain, both by the doctors and the manufacturer.
Why did they lose market share in underwriting at the peak of the bubble?
