Except that Google wasn't excluded from the phone market. Apple used Google search, Google maps and YouTube as the shipping solutions. And Google gets the revenue from advertising on those.
Contrary to your assertion, there have been previous estimates that Google does indeed make more money per handset from iPhones than Android.
But because of Android, that income from iPhone is going to disappear. Apple is in the process of moving to other map and video solutions, and presumably has a plan to move from Google search too at some point.
With Android now looking to expand across the whole computer spectrum including, shock horror, the desktop.
Android is finding it tough to even spread to tablets. They have no chance on the desktop. Desktop requires apps in windows. By the time you add that facility to Android, you're pretty much back at Linux. And Linux has been failing to get a foothold on the desktop for 15-20 years.
There should be one and only one joke per site on April Fool. The fun is in working out which is the April Fool story. It's not fun having the whole day lost to real news.
GIMP is available from official channels for free. If you are downloading it from unofficial channels, you deserve everything that happens to you and your data.
None of the things that you list are inadvisable things. None of them are part of the escalation of events that led to the killing. That was the first thing either party did that they should not have done. Not an illegal thing, but something that he should not have done.... actually it occurs to me that there was an earlier thing. When he chose to take a concealed weapon out on a neighbourhood watch. Again, not illegal. But against the neighborhood watch guidelines.
At the very least Zimerman was reckless, playing cop when he shouldn't have been. At most he's a murderer.
I can only imagine how bad the highway mileage would have been if there was the 'gasoline to motion to electricity to motion' in there too.
Not too bad at all. In that configuration the generator motor can run at it's most efficient RPM the whole time. And there's no inefficient gearbox needed anywhere.
It's exactly how a diesel-electric locomotive works. And they have a long history and are very common.
It asks whether you are Hispanic as a separate question from what your race is.
The U.S. Office of Management and Budget currently defines "Hispanic or Latino" as "a person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race".
Race and ethnicity in the United States Census, as defined by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the United States Census Bureau, are self-identification data items in which residents choose the race or races with which they most closely identify, and indicate whether or not they are of Hispanic or Latino origin (ethnicity).[1][2] The racial categories represent a social-political construct for the race or races that respondents consider themselves to be and "generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country."[3] OMB defines the concept of race as outlined for the US Census as not "scientific or anthropological" and takes into account "social and cultural characteristics as well as ancestry", using "appropriate scientific methodologies" that are not "primarily biological or genetic in reference."[4] The race categories include both racial and national-origin groups.[5]
I don't mean to be rude or pedantic, but please learn what "in question" means.
You're neither rude nor pedantic, just not doing so well in comprehension. I didn't say that dispatchers intent and reasoning wasn't in question. I said "Martin is dead for a number of reasons starting with Zimmerman ignoring the dispatcher. That's not in question."
The photo of Mr. Martin in the red shirt is not from age 17, or even 16... but ~ age 12... as are the majority of the photos shown in the MSM...
So the truth is no one in the media has claimed Trayvon was 12 years old. They've use a variety of photos, one of which is 5 years old. And if you're a frothing right winger, you can go and work out how long ago it was taken, subtract 5 years from the 17 years the press have been quite clear about. And some up with a figure of 12 years old that no one ever claimed.
It's insane.
Care to support that argument? All credible information I've seen says just the opposite that people of all races in the community knew that he was someone who could be counted on.
By "credible information" of course you mean "what I've read in the right-wing blogosphere". The actual ordinary press that sane people might read you dismiss as the "MSM".
I won't bother looking up the other accusations you made. The may be similarly full of shit or they may be true. It doesn't matter to the case. As I said Zimmerman's race is irrelevant.
What we have here is a rare case of NBC acting like Fox News usually does. If there's a difference at all it's in NBC's quick and full apology. It's rare you can get one of those out of Fox News.

"Sold" through the market? Android apps are mostly free adware.
Do you need a dictionary? That phrase has a meaning, and a meaning that's pretty economically put forward by that phrase.
Or are we at the level of arbitrary likes and dislikes of individual words? At which level you might as well say you like pink and not blue.

And stop using those two pesticides.
You open sores are very touchy.

You lie and you lie and you lie. And when caught out you just go quiet. Have you no self respect?

So much for free software.
There's nothing to stop GIMP carrying the malware.
People with a fascination for guns, like you, are the last people that should actually have them.

You seem overly fixated on the taxonomy of weapons.
That was very interesting, thanks. Pollution is of course also a reason to switch from ICE cars to EVs.

Recent events have lead me to believe that socialists have taken over the Democrat party.
A statement that can only mean you don't know what socialism is.
That's one way of thinking about it. The other is "How futuristic, a nuclear-powered car."
Batteries have to be replaced every 5 years.
I haven't checked your other claims, but this is blatantly not true. The Chevy Volt battery is designed for 10 years, and under warranty for 8 years.
The oldest Prius's are now 15 years old and mostly haven't had their batteries exchanged.
I'm convinced a car that costs much more to own and operate than traditional vehicles is going to change the world.
Cars cost more than horses. Cars replaced horses.
You're a liar. This is what the census says.

Funny at the time. Less funny in retrospect when you realise that he had a then undiagnosed brain cancer.

Not that it matters, but just to corret you: Hispanic is not a race. You can have black hispanics, white hispanics and every other colour hispanics.
What does matter is your lie about Obama: Obama was asked a direct question about the case in a press conference, following is a complete video of the answer. And at no time does he refer to Zimmerman as a white man.
