I was going to say "I think you mean net income", but holy crap you're right. On the flip side of that, a mortgage is usually a couple hundred thousands dollars on the negative side.
The problem is that permissions are not granular at all.
Make a phone call through app seems reasonable. But the permissions allows ALL phone data access. NSA metadata level. It's an all or nothing permission.

No, as opposed to the "we're giving our users encryption we can't get into" companies.
the network infrastructure should use Blackberry tech though.
You mean the company that gave every country a backdoor key?
These are the 35 organizations involved into the project and it never means they all have access to personal health records of anyone.
And the consequences if it does mean that? Even if it's breaking the law?
And don't say they (the federal government) will get punished. Just look at the CIA directly lying in testimony to congress and those consequences.
Ms. McCarthy, is that you?
On the plus side, you'll probably live longer.

That's a great sig...
What happened to the horror of 'legislating from the bench'?!
This is it.
Wait, do they have to sign the agreement? Or are they paid extra for the agreement?
Is there a business model where this isn't the case?
Because police have been shown, over and over again, all over the country, to be very racially biased.
And Obama has done way worse than Bush as the other side likes to (unironically) point out.
You forgot to quote "terrorism". Because that's the biggest piece of bullshit ever.
Shhh, the kiddies have never heard of that.
I think the point is that no one can really tell the difference.
And every other video provider around the world. And every OS. And make sure it works in every OS version.
I really don't think you get the scope of what you're saying.
Your post seems to represent the segment of /. that has not bothered to really look into chromebooks before hating them. . .
The same could be said of ipads...
That's a huge fucking "if".
Especially for education technology companies.
Awesome solution to the 10+m school aged kids.
Yes, I'm sure all 2 billion mobile users will do this. Or be able to do this.
Well, many video players are auto resolution tuning, so if they detect you have the bandwidth, they'll up the resolution.
If Netflix starts streaming in 4K, and gral was used to 480p, that's a bit of a difference in data.
We don't need laws.
We need a user focused OS. One that cares about the end user.
Android is an ad focused OS. It cares about generating revenue for its parent company, which is 90+% ads.
Yeah, I really didn't expect Google to let those selling ads to collect less data :-)
More like android users actually need to get their shit together.
The problem is that permissions are not granular at all.

If this is your default answer, you're going to have a bad time.
The problem is with the permissions model of Android. "allow access to make phone calls" also means can see all metadata.
That's a big WTF right there.
