What does it cost to drop your old search engine in favor of another when it fails? It is free.
What does it cost to drop your advertising provider in favor of a new one when it fails? At most it costs your investment in your current advertising campaign.
What does it cost change banks when that bank fails and takes your life savings with it?
Being a monopoly isn't a crime. It is abuse of that position as a monopoly that is bad. Being a "a good corporate citizen" exactly does mean that they don't get special treatment (special treatment such as being fined or forcibly broken up).
Farmville is definitely a flash game. I had to install flash for farmville when I was trying to get my fiance to use Ubuntu in an ultimately vain attempt at preventing a virus box from being on my network.
Not all integrated graphics are made the same. Intel integrated are utter shit.
I haven't tried nvidia integrated graphics.
But the ATI 3300 HD series of integrated chips?
It is as good as a top of the line GPU from about 3 or 4 years ago. 128Mb integrated memory, 32 stream processors, decent clock speed. There are a handful of high end games it won't do well with, but it will meet the needs of most people, including those playing TF2.
When his soon to be wife and kid moved in to his trailer, she made him throw out 4 full computer systems and a dozen CRT monitors. Why? because there was no room in the kitchen cupboards for trivial things like food and dishes.
This, I don't even bother with adblock, all I need is noscript. The flashing animated gif ads are a thing of the past, so it works pretty well. I occasionally see the odd banner ad, but nothing really obtrusive.
Because everything costs so much to launch that they design something to absolutely be capable of fulfilling its mission parameters. If they screw it up, it crashes and dies with billions lost. If they get it right, they might have some triplicate backup resources used to ensure function for 90 days that are left over. And because it would cost billions to get those resources up with a new mission, they might as well take advantage of what is left.
I would say its closer to an even split in terms of R&D and the fab facility itself. The chips themselves cost at most a couple dollars in materials and electricity to make.
Except slower, filtered, monitored, pay-walled and with a different set of security flaws.
IE will never conform to web standards, not that it matters as the standards will be utterly broken anyway.
HTML will never be perfected with separation of concerns, instead every new standard will be a rush to pollute the language with a new wiz-bang feature and shoe-horned into the wrong markup paradigm. If a major browser is utterly broken, its method of being broken will be incorporated into the standard and developers will have to work around its bullshit failure.
It does not matter if energy storage is fairly rare. Until we move to an all solar energy economy, it costs money for every joule of energy produced. When consumption goes down, fuel use goes down as well while boiler furnaces are run at idle.

This is correct, it is licensed from ARM, but is not a bog standard arm implementation.
For instance, snapdragon implemented multi-core functionality, standard ARM chips only support multi-core for Cortex A9 processors.
I don't know about mini ITX, but the Beagle Board provides a basic and fairly inexpensive option for experimenting with an ARM Cortex A8.
You are aware that the TI OMAP processors are licensed ARM processors, are you not?
That is a completely different situation.

Even if it did, google would not qualify. There are a ton of other search engines and a ton of other advertising services.

Its ok, all you have to do is tattoo the following on your forehead and they won't bother you:

Google has had their hands in some aspects of hardware for a while now. They have their own custom designed server motherboards.
It has happened, but it happens so often that they make a joke of it.
He does live in a trailer, on the back acre of his parents lot, down a gravel road, 2 miles from a town with a population under 2000.
It is also a 30 to 45 minute drive from Stennis Space Center.

Common? perhaps, I did them about once a month. 6-7 days a week? no, I don't think so.
That is what I said? The fabrication facility has a huge cost.
Possibly because they still have people in china that will be arrested, found guilty and executed if google went that far.

Some of us do. Of course most contracts explicitly forbid the practice and call it theft.
I DID! When I write on this topic it is an attempt to right the rite of written discourse.
That does not change the fact that "use taxes" are sales taxes on interstate commerce levied by states in everything but name.

"Amazon is just trying to avoid paying unconstitutional and illegal taxes for them and their clients."
Fixed that for you.
