Simple, it works like this. People directly communicating with people has done real damage to the marketing sites pretending to be end user focused magazines. You know the ones, bullshit reviews, crappy exaggerated stories, endlessly hyping product and on top of that selling add space on those advertisements, ads on ads. So people are comparing notes on how things actually come out, compared to those bull puckey marketing sites, pretending to be content magazines and are dropping them as they are dying, taking down their publishing houses with them.
So the new scam is distributed marketing sites. Sites and hosts being churned and burned, replaced, again and again and again, over and over. Up crops some angry douche youtube et al gamer, earns some advertising revenue and then when numbers are up, revenue spikes and bigger marketing lies are told and then they are abandoned by the audience and have to go back to the food services industry. Rather than a handful of major sites, it is now hundreds even tens of thousands of minor sites, churned and burned over and over again. Only a few will maintain self control amid a flood of bullshitters (even they will succumb as they get older). So they are being paid by the game publishers and game developers and marketing agencies, to bullshit about how great crap games are and DLC is fantastic and early ordering is the greatest and how a shit boring game is super fantastic and VR is the best and the list goes on and on and on.
Just as an interesting side note. As a lot of this stuff is ageist, when they hit middle age, they do not sell well any more with a younger audience and they become desperate and become targets for the big sell out. There seems to be a genuine hole in the age spread, where middle age just comes off like, dude ain't it about time you got a real job and people just end up by being turned off by them. So it seems older and younger sell better than middle aged (it's cool young dude or dudette or cool old dude or dudette but no such thing as cool middle aged anything), in that market.
So Honda employee, see what taking the lowest tender really buys you and the rest of us. For winners to win in capitalism there must be losers but those losers don't just harm themselves they create victims, millions upon millions of victims in one form or another. Endless failure for ever is what the lowest tender provides.
Sounds dangerously like a scam. Creatively painting, often contemplating a blank screen with your eyes closed, does that really count, say compared to playing a first person shooter et al which is what they will sell to children. Sounds like some pretty ass hat public relations bullshit to me:|. Let's see the first person shooter endurance trials, team against team (4 on 4 or 8 on 8 or even 16 on 16), MMO and see how longs those teams last against each other, SCORE WISE INCLUDED (no empty public relations bull with people barely being active).
Taking into account the invasive nature of windows10, sharepoint creates a central focus point for all a companies developing ideas that would be accessible externally via windows 10, each an every time an improperly configured user PC enters the network or on every questionable patch. Likely it would be very wise to definitely no install it on other OS because why give your corporate secrets away like that to be used against you, not just in loss of IP but actively against you financially, deep, deep, insider trading wise.
That completely illogical statement takes into no account the current level of technology. Already you are seeing massive breaks being put onto immigration and fence and armed guards are going up all over the place. You can not have massive human migration without there being same place for them to migrate too and quite simply they will not allow it. Expect higher and higher fences and more and more heavily armed security and you can bet the will employ the same solution that immigrant Americans used against the American nations, biological weapons, they will spread highly infectious diseases on purpose in the refugee camps on the other side of the boundary fences. In stressed environmental conditions mass exodus of populations will not be tolerated, simply never happen. We have already hit a solid wall of rejection in Europe at the current numbers let alone ten times that and ten times current numbers would result in the use of biological weapons.
Oh yeah because the government not monitoring what they fill you tank with and how much they put in there would work in capitalism, absofuckinglutely no. In capiatlism you can gauranteed 100% that pretty much near 100% of the time you would not get 100% of the fuel you paid for, in fact you could pretty much gaurantee that for 50% of the time you would only get 50% of the fuel you paid for and likely that fuel would be adulterated to extend it or to purposefully damage your engine on behalf of subsidising repair shops. Lie, cheat, steal and kill, is exactly how unregulated capitalism works, that is the reality and morons who think you can survive capitalism without regulation.
Actually any kind of mountain would be stupid. What you require is a mountain range, a ridge line perpendicular to the predominant moisture carrying winds. Loose aggregate would collapse, so it would need to be compacted in layers of 300mm and need to be something like 10 kilometres long and at least a kilometre high to have are real weather impact. A wall slope of 25 degrees is all that can be achieved and of course the big problem, collecting water means, water erosion tearing down the mountain range you just built ie an impossible feat.
More realistic a simple upside down funnels. Dark to absorb heat and the wide base clear of the ground. The air is heated and rises inside the funnel, taking that warm air with it moisture to a higher altitude where it can cool and condense and you collect water from the sides of the funnel, as a bonus you can use the airflow to generate electricity, you build an array of those upside hollow cones in a suitable catchment zone to generate electricity. Clad with solar panels to generate even more electricity. You can improve moisture generation by pump salt water to the base to allow evaporate to boost the humidity of the air as it rises or simply build them close to the cost just below high tide level.
To be fair, you just don't need to be able to pay for it, those selling it to you need to be able to legally do so;). Free market principles of course demand all need to be able to access the market upon an equal market, otherwise the market is not free but cartel based, specifically designed to enrich the core cartel operators by excluding the majority from equal access to the market. So in Australia people do not want to pay for shitty foxtel with commercials, seriously what the fuck, pay to watch commercials, just to watch one series with the story busted up with rubbish commercials.
Personally I just wait till the end of the season so I can binge watch. Make it available for sale and I will buy it, be dicks and block sale for years and well, I'll still watch it and fuck foxtel, corrupt shit heads.
RISK, what fucking risk. Being an over paid lame arse for a few years with a massive golden parachute at the end of it, WHAT FUCKING RISK?!?
Demoted as useless at Google, pretends otherwise but proves it at Yahoo, bringing nothing and just trying to the same old, same old, steal other people's idea and claim them as her own, which is why she wanted everyone in the office, to do exactly that. Perhaps she can get a job a Mars and she can be a spokesperson for https://www.youtube.com/watch?....
So the studios are actually trying to steal Mark Okrand's work by suing others who are just using it. There is also the matter of allowing use for an extended period, decades without contest allowing rights to end and not copyright because a language is not copyrightable just the content created with it is ie you can not make up a word and than claim copyright on it, especially with regard to close associations with foreign languages when making up words in other languages, just changing definition does not imply ownership.
You achieve much higher levels oaf efficiency with power stations, by associating industries that need heat for their processes. So you pipe waste heat to those places, reducing waste quite significantly. Similar can be done with desalination plants in the opposite direction, making them more efficient by using their waste water to for cooling, recovering energy lost in pumping. So immediate match associate power plants with desalination plants and they both become far more efficient.
The main error in the article, Amazon is not a tech company, Amazon is a logistic company that uses tech. They are now extending that logistics into handling digital materials but still focused on being a logistics company.
Amazon has a break in the market because the other big logistics companies have failed to expand into and compete with Amazons model which will happen eventually and this will hurt Amazons revenue.
M$ has choked the chicken on it's market, really badly and nothing will ever come of it as a result and they are on a downhill path. Wallmarts revenues have pretty much peaked, because they are vulture retailers, destroying the local economies they enter (reduced labour, lower wages, reduced occupancy as a result), they enter a market that can sustain a store, then destroy that market and as a result it can no longer sustain a store, they have a similar impact in larger markets, the stores can survive but they become less profitable.
Apple will likely get another surge via a push into all in one big screen displays, tying that to their phones and tablets (they will also likely get a bit of a bump in desktops as creative types seek to protect their content in development from the prying eyes of M$, they are in a position to steal ideas across the board in early development stages and exploit them before the real creators can, seriously do not create content on Windows 10 unless you want to lose it).
A sudden surge of closing security holes in the past few months. Feels like GCHQ is feeling the legal pressure from years of criminal negligence for failing the legal requirement to protect citizens from criminals whether foreign or domestic. The reality about keeping those holes secret is, you can only use them a vary limited number of times before they are exposed and then closed, the longer you keep them the more likely they are to be exploited by others and you have failed in your duty of care, other governments are likely to also have them so now MAD in truly pointless technical terms and rather than gain kudos for closing them you, you simply see them disappear when others find them and properly close them and the products they target simply age and are replaced with other unaffected products. The reality is you will rarely ever be able to use them. Anyhow they preferred hack is via targeted upgrades, secret warrants and the corruption of those companies providing the upgrades willing and unwilling (perversely enough it is more secure now, to anonymously buy a device and never ever upgrade it because once you use it, it is no longer anonymous and now they can target a specific upgrade at your uniquely identified device and crack your firmware for as long as they need to and then clean up the hack on the next upgrade).
So you need a firewall between you and the internet that only allows connections to specific addresses, that encrypts all data it sends and is never ever upgraded but replaced with a new anonymously purchased device. So for something like Windows anal probe 10, simply never allow access to an undesired IP address and the fire wall requires specific user permission to access any IP address for the first time and always seeks an encrypted communications when ever possible. Mobile communications for a device you want to be secure is definitely out, only via your hardware firewall, purchased anonymously and never ever upgraded by replaced with another anonymously purchased firewall.
The FBI are trapped, either they were stupid in their investment in failing to pay for open access to the method to ensure legal requirements when evidence is presented as being gained by this method or they are lying. The reason for the lie, they would be criminally negligent for failing to inform citizens seeking to ensure security and generate revenue by that provision of security, of the methods by which that security is broken. This also extends to individuals citizens should their phone be illegally hacked by this method. I doubt they are that stupid, so the lie, which is hugely legally problematic for them and will remain so, is the only logical conclusion. It also does not matter if they know it or not, they know someone does and they are failing to ensure the security of citizens device by obtaining that known secret and are still being criminally negligent.
Quite simply because due to the nature of fracking it is impossible to stop. They knew that from the start, which is exactly why laws were drawn up to protect the polluting frackers from justice, whilst of course the general public are not protected from the frackers, profits first, people last.
Really just about anything can be for political activism, even the lulz. When dicks are taking the wrong things far to seriously because of their inflated egos, deflating those egos often has a great benefit in reducing the political harm those inflated egos cause. Politics doesn't have to be all serious, it can be quite fun and in fact making it more fun tends to get more people involved ie taking the piss out of corrupt politicians is fun and although it does not achieve much political change it certainly strips away pleasure those corrupt politicians derive from their victories out our expense, at least it does make the very cautious about repeating bad behaviour.
Anonymous is nothing more than an anonymous vehicle for political activism, it is only what particular people bring to it at a particular time. The activities of those people who operate temporarily under the name of 'Anonymous' seeking support from others, is their own as it is of those who wish to join them in that activity.
It is only what those anonymous people, operating under 'Anonymous' at any particular time, make it. There can be no dissension (as there is no organisation with which to dissent), it is an anarchistic vehicle for political activism, which ever way the majority involved decide, is the way it goes. Dissension logically can not exist and multiple conflicting sides can be taken at the same time, the dominant view is simply the view that achieves the greatest consensus at any particular time.
It can not be infiltrated by government agents or corporate agents or agents of any description. If they so choose to engage in an activity under the name of 'Anonymous' then so be it, no different to anyone else, no one is accepted to 'Anonymous' no one is rejected from 'Anonymous', if you wish to engage anonymously in a particular political activism activity. then it is there to be used. What support you gather or fail to gather will be entirely up to other individuals choosing to or ignoring or even opposing the call to political activity.
It just provides a required level of protection via anonymity when engaged in political activism for those who need it or for those who seek to support anonymity in political activity, well, at least in part. Most political activity should be in public but many big players in politics do so in anonymity via bribes paid in tax havens, so it is only fair the majority have similar avenues to anonymous political activism, not involving the corruption of democracy of course. To claim to be a member of 'Anonymous' is factually to deny being anonymous, you cannot abandon anonymity and be 'Anonymous', it factually illogical and merely represents those particular individuals vainly seeking to gain control of non-organisation that in implementation is designed to be uncontrollable. Any groups that conduct activity under 'Anonymous' remain the group they were prior, during and after conducting that activity. You can not be recruited by 'Anonymous', you form your own political activism groups prior to any 'Anonymous' activity and that group than simply conducts an activity under 'Anonymous' seeking to draw others to that activity, for greater collective impact, than would otherwise be achieved on their own or not;). The more the merrier, as there is safety in obscurity and it confuses the crap out of data analysts, the on and off again, informal temporary partnerships, involving individuals, groups and even government agents (they help to feed the obscurity and drive the public presence of 'Anonymous';D).
Sometimes it behaves better than other times, sometimes it is more effective than others time, sometimes the average member of the public agrees with the activities and sometimes they do not and sometimes PR=B$ agencies attempt to use it and their cause fails but they have promoted 'Anonymous', only to see 'Anonymous' then attack PR douches promoted cause, with far larger numbers than those who originally supported it for profit.
Nah, no thanks, M$ has shown exactly the course for AI massive PI or what that be IP where I stands for invasions and P for privacy of lack there of ie cortana the privacy invasive bitch. People are going to flat out reject AI because, it's use on the internet is predicated upon invading everyone's privacy, watching everything they do and listening to everything they say. Only limited AILA artificially intelligent limited applications will be tolerated.
The US elections will be fascinating to watch. We have already seen the corruption with Democrats and Republicans, with purging of polls and shutting down polling stations in areas where they do not get votes. The laughable part because they are both as corrupt and corporate controlled as each other, they can not honestly complain about each other, (they have both proven that with blatant electoral scams), it will be an ugly screaming match and enormously long voting queue (idea being, to crowded for you to vote today, come back tomorrow, snigger, snigger). The world is watching and laughing and trust the US, not bloody likely, it's own electorate can no longer trust their own government after blatant electoral scams, why should the rest of the world after watching the election debacle and it will only get worse.
This story is interesting because it points out how far those corrupt influences will spread and the actions they will take. The Trump move, was it done to win people over to Trump (clear failure) or was it an early Clinton trial to test ways to alienate voters against their competitor (clear success, especially taking into account Clinton's million dollar paid troll army, expect more of the same) for hundreds of millions of dollars in corporate bribes, even billions, once they scam their way into office. They also purposefully censored groups on face book by planting threats and porn, expect many, many more cyber false flags (can not win on a forum, then shut it down).
They only clean candidate is now Dr Jill Stein, good luck with that with both Democrats and Republicans actively working together to ensure Dr Jill Stein gets as few votes as possible.
Everyone remember where exactly Google came from, cooked search results where the first bunch of 'PAGES' of results were all paid for and often had absolutely nothing with what you were looking for. So type in a search, results come up and immediately click on page 3 of the results and somewhere between page 3 and page 7 of the results would be what you were actually looking for and MSN search was just as bad as asta la vista (altavista). Welcome to the same old bullshit and the bullshit to try to cover up the bullshit with even more bullshit.
Windows anal probe 10, we will watch everything you do (seriously disable the camera and mic, no seriously do it now), we will control everything you do, you will only be allowed to do what we approve and we will only approve what we have been paid sufficiently to approve and make no mistake cortana does not serve you, you serve cortana.
Wow, Windows anal probe 10 is already this bad, the mind boggles at how much worse it will get. Pretty obvious nothing short of goverment regulation will bring M$ to heel and M$ blatantly tells complaining customers to shut up, bend over and take it (expect complaints against M$ to disappear from search results).
Blah, blah, blah, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Not picking on you, just the whole thread. Reality is and suck it up folks, millenials were not as subject to lead poisoning as previous generations, they lack the stupid that lead provides. So they feel the consequences of their deprivation under psychopathic capitalism, they can review the past and see how things were better under regulated capitalism and a much more social democracy and so they reject capitalism, simple common sense. Lead poisoning results in a lowering of thoughtfulness and morality, it is just the way it is, it is just the way it affects the human brain, nothing more and nothing less and it fully explains that drift into greed driven stupidity. So blah, blah, blah, tweaking the system, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, need more PR=B$ and blah, bullshit, blah, we will win them over. Fucking hell wake up to yourselves, previous generations poisoned by pollution newer generations less so and are thinking collectively smarter (we are a society, we do not think on our own, we think together to achieve together), nothing more and nothing less.
so neo-capitalism, is the new wave, we will control that wild mustang. It will be put into harness to keep it under control, it will wear blinders to keep it focused on our needs, it will have a bit between its teeth to know it is being controlled, they whip will be there to drive it where we want it to go and and the fucking soap factory will be rebuilt to ensure those that no longer serve the community of which they are a part are put down and it's parts rendered into something more useful.
Now if you are stupid enough to think you can win by going back to mass poisoning the electorate, vis a vis Flint Michigan, that path leads direct to collapse, vis a vis Roman Empire and it's indulgence with lead and all the bullshit in the world will not change that.
Just to help you along. The reason why M$ losephone (can't call it a win phone that would be lying), is now doing so badly is because of Windows anal probe 10 and it is putting everyone off. The core basic idea that M$ is watching you masturbate is really affecting their sales (don't think so, well, just turn on windows 10 and as you are turning on, just remember M$ is watching and recording every site you visit, every link you click and every file your computer downloads from the internet and then processes and can figure out when you will climax before you can even realise it, being distracted and all;)). So people are becoming more privacy conscious and because of windows anal probe 10 on their desktop and or their notebook (not really theirs, M$ owns, they can shut it down when ever they want for what ever reason they want and claim ownership and rights of access over it's entire contents), they are looking elsewhere for some privacy in their life.
Pretty much, China protects them, so make China pay to support them and it wont be long before China ends the problem. Fair and reasonable as China is the only country in the world that can resolve the problem, a trade, a bunch of small island for part of a peninsula.
Problem is reality, the arms manufacturers, the pharmaceuticals, the gmos, the fossile fuellers and the banksters are all owned and controlled by the exact same corrupt individuals that own Google, so no difference in reality.
However the partnership between private corporate interests and government means those private corporate interest should have no access to the privacy of future generations. All school computer networks and school computers and the children using them should be legally protected by the perverted invasion of their privacy corporations seeking to use that information to control those children. Seriously that is really sick stuff and should be stopped right now.
Thanks to the VR (motion free, easier to control with phone) headset plugged into the USB port of a smart phone, we are still a way to go to hit peak power on a smart phone. When phone comes out that can hit the processing power that high end gaming machines hit now, then we are at the peak. That VR headset plugged into a phone, a really big screen TV right in your pocket, is going to drive more development in compact capability. The new LG G5 should be considered a base model for new developments in the years to come. More and more power in you pocket with better and better, more comfortable, high resolution, headsets for VR (virtual reality) and AR (altered reality) and simple HI (high immersion). More power, better batteries, better interface, smaller phones(just put on the head set).

Politics doesn't have to be all serious, it can be quite fun and in fact making it more fun tends to get more people involved ie taking the piss out of corrupt politicians is fun and although it does not achieve much political change it certainly strips away pleasure those corrupt politicians derive from their victories out our expense, at least it does make the very cautious about repeating bad behaviour.
Anonymous is nothing more than an anonymous vehicle for political activism, it is only what particular people bring to it at a particular time. The activities of those people who operate temporarily under the name of 'Anonymous' seeking support from others, is their own as it is of those who wish to join them in that activity.
It is only what those anonymous people, operating under 'Anonymous' at any particular time, make it. There can be no dissension (as there is no organisation with which to dissent), it is an anarchistic vehicle for political activism, which ever way the majority involved decide, is the way it goes. Dissension logically can not exist and multiple conflicting sides can be taken at the same time, the dominant view is simply the view that achieves the greatest consensus at any particular time.
It can not be infiltrated by government agents or corporate agents or agents of any description. If they so choose to engage in an activity under the name of 'Anonymous' then so be it, no different to anyone else, no one is accepted to 'Anonymous' no one is rejected from 'Anonymous', if you wish to engage anonymously in a particular political activism activity. then it is there to be used. What support you gather or fail to gather will be entirely up to other individuals choosing to or ignoring or even opposing the call to political activity.
It just provides a required level of protection via anonymity when engaged in political activism for those who need it or for those who seek to support anonymity in political activity, well, at least in part. Most political activity should be in public but many big players in politics do so in anonymity via bribes paid in tax havens, so it is only fair the majority have similar avenues to anonymous political activism, not involving the corruption of democracy of course. To claim to be a member of 'Anonymous' is factually to deny being anonymous, you cannot abandon anonymity and be 'Anonymous', it factually illogical and merely represents those particular individuals vainly seeking to gain control of non-organisation that in implementation is designed to be uncontrollable. Any groups that conduct activity under 'Anonymous' remain the group they were prior, during and after conducting that activity. You can not be recruited by 'Anonymous', you form your own political activism groups prior to any 'Anonymous' activity and that group than simply conducts an activity under 'Anonymous' seeking to draw others to that activity, for greater collective impact, than would otherwise be achieved on their own or not ;). The more the merrier, as there is safety in obscurity and it confuses the crap out of data analysts, the on and off again, informal temporary partnerships, involving individuals, groups and even government agents (they help to feed the obscurity and drive the public presence of 'Anonymous' ;D).
Sometimes it behaves better than other times, sometimes it is more effective than others time, sometimes the average member of the public agrees with the activities and sometimes they do not and sometimes PR=B$ agencies attempt to use it and their cause fails but they have promoted 'Anonymous', only to see 'Anonymous' then attack PR douches promoted cause, with far larger numbers than those who originally supported it for profit.
Nah, no thanks, M$ has shown exactly the course for AI massive PI or what that be IP where I stands for invasions and P for privacy of lack there of ie cortana the privacy invasive bitch. People are going to flat out reject AI because, it's use on the internet is predicated upon invading everyone's privacy, watching everything they do and listening to everything they say. Only limited AILA artificially intelligent limited applications will be tolerated.
The US elections will be fascinating to watch. We have already seen the corruption with Democrats and Republicans, with purging of polls and shutting down polling stations in areas where they do not get votes. The laughable part because they are both as corrupt and corporate controlled as each other, they can not honestly complain about each other, (they have both proven that with blatant electoral scams), it will be an ugly screaming match and enormously long voting queue (idea being, to crowded for you to vote today, come back tomorrow, snigger, snigger). The world is watching and laughing and trust the US, not bloody likely, it's own electorate can no longer trust their own government after blatant electoral scams, why should the rest of the world after watching the election debacle and it will only get worse.
This story is interesting because it points out how far those corrupt influences will spread and the actions they will take. The Trump move, was it done to win people over to Trump (clear failure) or was it an early Clinton trial to test ways to alienate voters against their competitor (clear success, especially taking into account Clinton's million dollar paid troll army, expect more of the same) for hundreds of millions of dollars in corporate bribes, even billions, once they scam their way into office. They also purposefully censored groups on face book by planting threats and porn, expect many, many more cyber false flags (can not win on a forum, then shut it down).
They only clean candidate is now Dr Jill Stein, good luck with that with both Democrats and Republicans actively working together to ensure Dr Jill Stein gets as few votes as possible.
Everyone remember where exactly Google came from, cooked search results where the first bunch of 'PAGES' of results were all paid for and often had absolutely nothing with what you were looking for. So type in a search, results come up and immediately click on page 3 of the results and somewhere between page 3 and page 7 of the results would be what you were actually looking for and MSN search was just as bad as asta la vista (altavista). Welcome to the same old bullshit and the bullshit to try to cover up the bullshit with even more bullshit.
Windows anal probe 10, we will watch everything you do (seriously disable the camera and mic, no seriously do it now), we will control everything you do, you will only be allowed to do what we approve and we will only approve what we have been paid sufficiently to approve and make no mistake cortana does not serve you, you serve cortana.
Wow, Windows anal probe 10 is already this bad, the mind boggles at how much worse it will get. Pretty obvious nothing short of goverment regulation will bring M$ to heel and M$ blatantly tells complaining customers to shut up, bend over and take it (expect complaints against M$ to disappear from search results).
Blah, blah, blah, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Not picking on you, just the whole thread. Reality is and suck it up folks, millenials were not as subject to lead poisoning as previous generations, they lack the stupid that lead provides. So they feel the consequences of their deprivation under psychopathic capitalism, they can review the past and see how things were better under regulated capitalism and a much more social democracy and so they reject capitalism, simple common sense. Lead poisoning results in a lowering of thoughtfulness and morality, it is just the way it is, it is just the way it affects the human brain, nothing more and nothing less and it fully explains that drift into greed driven stupidity. So blah, blah, blah, tweaking the system, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, need more PR=B$ and blah, bullshit, blah, we will win them over. Fucking hell wake up to yourselves, previous generations poisoned by pollution newer generations less so and are thinking collectively smarter (we are a society, we do not think on our own, we think together to achieve together), nothing more and nothing less.
so neo-capitalism, is the new wave, we will control that wild mustang. It will be put into harness to keep it under control, it will wear blinders to keep it focused on our needs, it will have a bit between its teeth to know it is being controlled, they whip will be there to drive it where we want it to go and and the fucking soap factory will be rebuilt to ensure those that no longer serve the community of which they are a part are put down and it's parts rendered into something more useful.
Now if you are stupid enough to think you can win by going back to mass poisoning the electorate, vis a vis Flint Michigan, that path leads direct to collapse, vis a vis Roman Empire and it's indulgence with lead and all the bullshit in the world will not change that.
Just to help you along. The reason why M$ losephone (can't call it a win phone that would be lying), is now doing so badly is because of Windows anal probe 10 and it is putting everyone off. The core basic idea that M$ is watching you masturbate is really affecting their sales (don't think so, well, just turn on windows 10 and as you are turning on, just remember M$ is watching and recording every site you visit, every link you click and every file your computer downloads from the internet and then processes and can figure out when you will climax before you can even realise it, being distracted and all ;)). So people are becoming more privacy conscious and because of windows anal probe 10 on their desktop and or their notebook (not really theirs, M$ owns, they can shut it down when ever they want for what ever reason they want and claim ownership and rights of access over it's entire contents), they are looking elsewhere for some privacy in their life.
Pretty much, China protects them, so make China pay to support them and it wont be long before China ends the problem. Fair and reasonable as China is the only country in the world that can resolve the problem, a trade, a bunch of small island for part of a peninsula.
Problem is reality, the arms manufacturers, the pharmaceuticals, the gmos, the fossile fuellers and the banksters are all owned and controlled by the exact same corrupt individuals that own Google, so no difference in reality.
However the partnership between private corporate interests and government means those private corporate interest should have no access to the privacy of future generations. All school computer networks and school computers and the children using them should be legally protected by the perverted invasion of their privacy corporations seeking to use that information to control those children. Seriously that is really sick stuff and should be stopped right now.
Thanks to the VR (motion free, easier to control with phone) headset plugged into the USB port of a smart phone, we are still a way to go to hit peak power on a smart phone. When phone comes out that can hit the processing power that high end gaming machines hit now, then we are at the peak. That VR headset plugged into a phone, a really big screen TV right in your pocket, is going to drive more development in compact capability. The new LG G5 should be considered a base model for new developments in the years to come. More and more power in you pocket with better and better, more comfortable, high resolution, headsets for VR (virtual reality) and AR (altered reality) and simple HI (high immersion). More power, better batteries, better interface, smaller phones(just put on the head set).
