Which is absolutely nothing in terms of economic impact and proves how worthless "trickle down" is.
Take that billion dollars, distribute it across "average" workers who then go buy boats. They can buy 20,000 boats! Do have any idea the number just jobs that creates? The number of things people buy for their new boats? (life jackets, mooring lines, etc)
The difference in economic impact is probably 1000 fold.
Build super yachts, and waste it on things that do VERY little to help the economy.
They buy a 1 billion yacht from a company that employs barely 50 people. Of course 49 of those people earn low wages and the owners of the super yacht company keep 99% of the profits.
So the "wealth" doesn't actually go anywhere or do anything it just gets pass around from one extremely rich person to another...
Check out "PDAnet" for app that doesn't require to be "rooted". Or google "tethering" for your phone type. (note: PDAnet requires the ability to install software on the PC)
Keep in mind most "unlimited" plans this is against the TOS.
And depending on your corporation may(probably does) violate their HR policies
Working in the medical field, coders can be VERY dangerous. Improperly coded shit kills people all the time... Do you want that IV machine's program coded by an idiot?
US will most likely stay the hell out of that three way fight and let them figure a way out on their own, at most offering diplomatic assistance and assurances that any kind of claims on currently undisputed territories would be met with force.
This is true only as long as Japan and China don't start actually shooting at each other.
The possible outcomes: 1. Japan and China decide to let this die down (possible) 2. They work something out politically. 3. There is a skirmish of some sort, plane gets shot down a fish boat sinks. (this is where things get interesting/scary)
a. Big political shit storm and something gets worked out.
b. The US sends in 1 or more carrier groups to patrol the disputed waters. ( this is the preamble to WIII, baring any last minute miracles)
like Saddam Hussein because, you know, he was a US puppet, wasn't he..
Saddam Hussein wasn't a "US" puppet, why do you think we took him out? You don't actually believe the drivel about "weapons of mass destruction" or "saving the Iraqis from tyranny" Do you?
Bush took Iraq out for two reasons, because Hussein wouldn't be HIS puppet and so Bush could funnel millions to he friends in "war industries".
It depends on who your definition of "victor" is. The countries involved in the wars no longer win (financially).
BUT, the greedy bastards pulling the strings sure the hell do. The US lost the Iraq war money wise, but Bush's cronies in Halliburton and others made billions.
Apple most certainly is a "bubble"... It's not going to burst though, its going to be a "slow" leak back into mediocrity. One of the reasons Apple is so involved in lawsuits is they see the writing on the wall. History repeats itself. (see the 80's and Apple vs PC's). Their "profits" are based off the insane prices they charge. They can charge that much because of the "perception" by the public that Apple products are that much better.
The gap between iphone and the others (android,windows) is MUCH smaller then 2 years ago. There's still a perception of a much larger gap then really exists and that is being propped up isheeple AND the wireless carriers. That is what is keeping Apple's dominance "a float" right now. Carriers are so desperate for the "iPhone" that they are eating the insane premium Apple charges themselves, making it seem as though the iphone is comparable. That is changing though. In a year or so the price of a iphone compared to a Android of the same quality is going to double/triple. Once "Consumers" start seeing they'll have to pay 500 for a iphone of 150 for a Android that works as well or better... Repeat the PC market, Apple will slip back into being a niche company...

Just to play devils advocate...
Given his age, medical condition and his work history in government security fields.
He probably had no idea what the fuck a "bitcoin" was and thought it was something from his security past that he shouldn't be talking about...

Pretty much anything requires a 4 year degree now. (yes, you can "get away" without one but you limit your options and make your life more difficult)
If your trying to jump into the programing field it depends what your current degree/job experaince are to the best approach.
Working in the medical field, coders can be VERY dangerous. Improperly coded shit kills people all the time... Do you want that IV machine's program coded by an idiot?
And the fact that Samasung, is working VERY hard to replace all the Google apps with their own versions.
calendar, googleNow, and mail ALL are either off or not installed by default on the S4
S-voice
Scalender
and plain mail being the defaults
It will be interesting to see what Samsung does on the S5 (openmaps maybe?)
Samsung WILL either switch to Tizen OR fork Android in the next couple years, its coming...
Personally, I hate the Samsung apps, I'll never buy another unless I can get a version without touchwiz(horrible) and Samsung's crapware
incorrect, in true capitalistic fashion they see a chance to rape and price gauge the consumer for pure profit...
the clients (victims) have no alternative. so they make up a fake excuse and rape away...
'Murica at its best!
Did you just mention "Rush" that senile, racist, sexist?
Your opinion is completely irrelevant go back to your confederate flag draped tent...
At least I won't be tagged as a grammar nazi on internet forums!!!!
Sweet, I'm set! I graduated from college much later then typical, so any employers will think I'm 10 years younger then I am!

If you think China doesn't want to rule the world or Japan wouldn't if they had the power, you're deluding yourself...

ROFL, Well played sir.
p.s. the version with Arnold was the best.
Yup.
1. create something cool users want
2. form corporation
2a. sellout said customers
3. PROFIT !!@#!@#!@!!!
While I HOPE this doesn't happen to CM the above has proven accurate to many time to be dismissed
"The only ones who win are the lawyers."
-The laws must be changed.
Which is exactly why the laws won't be changed.
That and free publicity.
Like has been said before "there' no such thing as bad publicity..."
In this case if the stiasand effect takes hold so much the better.
The lawyer will become a household name with copyright trolls everywhere...
It also used to be a "geek" site...
If you don't know what Evernote is, and if you can't use google, well maybe /. isn't the problem.
Agreed! My tolerance is what it used to be but still decent...
That HANGOVERS though... They could kill a person
People with physical access to a device and time, can overcome security...
Some one call the press!
No but you DO get what you pay for in life.
A Bachelors in Liberal Arts is "almost" worthless in terms getting a job(avg . A associate degree is worth less then less half that...

pretty sure those work without the "android." in front also...
