Of the few posts I saw that showed DELIGHT at not paying for apps none of them identified what phone they are using. Do you not realize that *most* of the revenue created from apps is in game purchases from games that are free to play on both platforms? Candy crush pulled in 1.3 billion alone, and it's a free game.
So yes, it is silly to infer that Android users don't pay for things because you saw some posts on the internet about people enjoying not paying for apps. Also that android app development is second tier because of it.
That's just silly. You aren't taking into consideration that Android OS covers the most cheap bare bones phones/tables/etc to the comparable galaxy/etc devices.
To make an analogy its like saying Tesla drivers spend more on Starbucks than GM drivers do. Tesla only sells relatively expensive cars while GM runs the gamut and the lower end sells much more than the higher end. A Tesla entry point is ~70K a GM is ~12k, and both top out in the 100K+ range.
I can't seem to find any numbers of like-priced devices but I will bet the numbers are probably in the +/-5% range either way.
I think that without a doubt the higher ups have a political agenda. If the FBI was investigating this why weren't we made aware of this every step of the way like pre-election? The people that leaked it probably did so because they knew a coverup was afoot.
I don't know any facts but I know this stinks to high heaven of coverup, and not in the Alex Jones or Breitbart way, like in the actual "The presidents top advisor was possibly violating the law with the ambassador to a country he has been constantly accused of placating." kind of way.
I think we should have police enforce patent law as well.
Patent trolls would have a field day having SWAT kick down the doors at 'Moms House of Pies" because they used 'a method to photograph a freshly made pie and distribute the picture through signage to passing traffic'
It's just an anecdote but I have hired for the same types of positions and get inundated with resumes, granted there's a lot of under/un qualified people but I have never had a hard time finding the talent. It was always just a matter of what I was willing to pay for that talent.
Let make this analogous to the the poor farmers in the US who "can't find anyone to work those jobs".
" I work with dozens of Illegal immigrants. I scoured the lands of the US for 1.5 years to fill a vacant position and I couldn't find anyone in the US to do it. I work in Apple Picking and needed a picker at $5k/yr. I was fine with a kid dropped out of high school, and I still couldn't find anyone. Eventually I get an email from someone in Mexico, and we hired her. She's amazing. However if this shit with the Illegals goes through, we can't pay her (a living wage) and she'll have to go back. I won't be able to fill the position. We'll have to let go 6 employees whom we can't replace (or marginally raise prices as everyone else will helping to boost a cyclical economy).
Why can't we find the right people here? I honestly don't know (I do but I want to address my unwillingness to pay the market price for talent). I went to every college in the area and said "If you have taken a programming class, I want you. I'll pay you (as little as I possibly can, maybe call you an intern and not at all). I'll train you in the languages we use" and no responses. Why?? "
If you take a longer view on the "profit" made. What's the difference in pay between a Network Communications Analyst at the Federal Reserve and a fry cook at the local hole in the wall cafe?
Reasons I take an uber over a taxi in order of importance:
-Clear and concise pick up location -Nice, friendly people (usually) -Nice, clean vehicle (usually) -Contact with the driver if there is an issue -Plain, easy to understand fare information -No tipping or cash exchanging of any kind -No need to find a local reputable company when traveling
Yes, I left off price because that has never been a thought if I am considering a cab vs uber. I may be an outlier but I would pay the same or more for Uber vs taxi for the above stated reasons.
As soon as they start tweaking for better or for worse they aren't doing their job.
I did your mars search for fun and guess what? Exactly what you said the first 5-6 results were kooky sites that confirm my bias or my interest in what people who search for that are seeing. I would assume this is the exact same thing for just about every kooky conspiracy theory; ask a dumb question get a dumb answer.
And maybe we wanted the list of top leaders in saddams party Iraq so we could help them with a smooth transition through counseling and education.
I highly doubt the trump transition team is asking for data of people working on things that he has described ad a conspiracy by china is an attempt to shore up weaknesses in the programs.
Unless you are saying "Maybe they want this so they can hire the proper people for certain cabinet positions" in the way of hiring people who will recognize the problem and eradicate anything or person who believes the china conspiracy.
If they were doing it for PR they sure f'ed this one up because I don't think anyone will hear this story an applaud their actions. At least if they just said "we're donating 30mil to schools" then later said "no gifts this year" they would get some decent PR on the altruism side of things.
Since it's a gift they get I am assuming they still get bonuses or whatever, no?
Trump is the epitome of a thin skinned person. I can see this being a "yuge" issue for him as he absolutely despises criticism in any shape or form, and for businesses? Forget about it.
And yes we all know he can't 'pen away' laws but he can talk and there's ~1/2 a country that listens to his idiocy and thinks it's viable. The pulpit he speaks from went from "guy talking shit" to "commander in chief" so there will be movement behind his ideas.
Do you not think a president Trump won't call out and deride dissenters?
It is on the taxpayer to show all income and losses. If the IRS sees a person cashing out a bunch of bitcoin and not reporting the income they are going to audit the person.
Not saying I approve of them doing this but that is what's going to happen. A lot of butts are puckered pretty tight after reading this news.
Trump convinced a large voting block that Hillary was tantamount to a war criminal despot who was literally looking to abolish the second amendment and legalize and support 'day before due date abortions' among other things people would gladly regurgitate as if they personally know it as fact.
Trump does need the power of the rest of the government to do a lot of things but he has something much more powerful: Simple words, lies and fear. It is not far fetched that could rile up constituencies around the country to force the hand of their elected representatives to support whatever insanity he spews. I'm sure there was a lot of level headed people in the government who absolutely abhorred the internment camps but went along to get along. Or a more recent example, when GWB was beating the war drum for Iraq opponents were called out as weak bellied traitors who hated america.
Paranoia with Trump is completely warranted because he is a completely loose cannon beholden to no one and continues to prove it so with insane statements like Hillary getting million of illegal votes simply because he lost the majority. I mean let that sink in: Our elected president elect is spewing baseless conspiracy theories 2 months before he takes office as a retort to not being liked the most.
Hyperbole about nuclear war and concentration camps aside; he almost literally is a frothing at the mouth madman. He has little to no self control, he says deplorable things about trade partners and even worse about middle eastern nations.
Sure he may not want to start wars or do crazy things but words mean stuff and international diplomacy is an extremely important thing to avoid conflicts and all out wars. The Iraq war has proven to the war that if we bang the war drum loud enough we will invade and occupy a sovereign nation basically on the whim of the president and his staff.
At the baseline hypernationalism and xenophobia is the root cause of the biggest and bloodiest wars in our worlds history and Trump is fanning those flames loud and clear. He is a very dangerous person, and the epitome "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"
If you think this is an isolated issue you are sorely mistaken. I'll bet this is a mainstay for PI's around the country. Especially since it took 4 years to catch him. My guess without details is that he got caught when he started using the Location system since that's not something anyone besides SysTechs and LEO would need.
The problem is that on earth, for now, that technology would be a solution without a problem (I know, *for now*). The technology for space exploration has largely been adapted as a result of space travel successes solving problems that we didn't know we had here.
Google around, there's tons of safety, sustainability, health, etc technology that was specifically designed for space travel issues adapted to earth usage.
A successful colonization of a planet like mars would have a profound affect on the minds of the world because the lessons learned there will proof of concept true sustainability (without a net).

Did I wander into the Yahoo financial message boards? WTF? This is damn near a copy paste of every penny stock spam in my spam folder.
That was pretty funny but I looked it up and it earned $24,000 (yes twenty four thousand) in its opening weekend.
The budget was 10mil and total box office was 1.2mil, DVD another 2mil. Wow.
How you recover from that level of a flop I have no idea.
