  1. Actually it does. Samsung fabs AMOLED and IPS displays that few others could produce. Samsung makes not only it's own displays but also those that go into apple devices and probably more than half of all handsets. I believe LG and Sharp are their only competition.

    Most of those don't even manufacture PCs, only Acer and lenovo as far as I know.

    A few thousand?

    Any idea what it would cost to write your app for OSX, Windows, Linux, android, IOS and blackberry?

    We have found the cost savings were very worth it, rural clients can use 3G connectivity.

    Obviously this depends highly on what your business needs to do.

    Believe it or not there are enterprise apps that check the version and flat out refuse to run if it is not what they expect.

    On Linux it is not that simple. I have plenty of examples or Java apps that only work on one or the other jvm. On every OS lots of java apps only work with certain versions of java.

    Expensive enterprise apps are the most likely to be jvm specific and you can forget about the vendor giving a damn.

    I am not a government employee?

    In the USA pensions went away a long time. My income is also not that far from that, but I know I am not a normal person. I make far more than the median income.

    You can do that. You just switch the account in market and you get the other accounts gmail.

    Dividing up storage too would be awesome.

    Portable DVD players are also far worse for this.
    You have to carry the DVDs, the kids will scratch them. You really can't take them out of the car, they don't offer games, on and on.

    Portable DVD players are cheap and that is the only thing they have going for them.

    How is 16GB not going to cut it? Do you drive for more than 8 hours at a time?

    That is how it works for me. I am not paid every-time my work is used. Do you get a check each time someone uses your works?

    I am only offering a new way for them to stay relevant, if they want to go tilting at windmills that is their choice.

    A normal person makes far less money than that. Also normal people do not get pensions. Those went away decades ago.

    Try the math again with less than half that income.

    You would make sure no one gives you anything in inheritance.

    Wages/Salary are something the person buying the labor pays for. He also gets the results of that labor.

    Without copyright an artists would want to sell the labor not the results. Concerts are one example of that.

    Might? When did they use force?

    As far as I can tell the only use or threat of force is coming from those supporting copyright in this case. The government in this instance.

    Copyright is really not a right, it is depriving the rest of society of the right to copy. I personally think that if the scope and length of this monopoly was lower it might be morally acceptable, but 100 years is surely not.

    Yeah, might as well quit working at that point. They will garnish your wages anyway, so welfare or living with family is a better choice.

    So you make it a little bigger. Better yet get rid of the hull. Just press your drugs into a boat like shape, seal that in plastic and install the hardware to turn it into a DrugFishPi.
