From at least some reports I've read, they didn't [just?] sell statistics, also things like lyft email receipts that were 'anonymized'.

Using an email digest service it owns named Unroll.me, Slice collected its customers’ emailed Lyft receipts from their inboxes and sold the anonymized data to Uber.
You are confusing "works" and "works well". The apps "work". They don't "work well". The UI is, well, wrong for a keyboard/mouse/larger monitor experience.
Apple Basic, in grade 7 on the local school's Apple II's. Then I learned 6502 machine code (yes, wrote out assembly code, then converted it to op-codes to type in manually, yay having no money!). Lather, rinse, repeat on the Commodore 64.
Yes, the apps will run and you can use the keyboard, mouse or even a touchscreen to interact with them. And yes, if the app developer takes the time and effort, it could have a UI that works well on a larger screen with a keyboard and mouse instead of a touchscreen.
Except virtually no Android apps even bother to make their apps work well on slightly larger tablet screen. They just depend on basic scaling and automatic re-jigging of screen elements to take up the extra space.
But for the vast majority of Android apps, the actual UI experience is designed for an approx. 6" diagonal vertically oriented screen with only touch-input. Virtually no apps are designed or redesigned to even work well on a slightly larger tablet screen. Any non-trivial app will absolutely suck to use on a 27" horizontally oriented screen using a keyboard and mouse.
Yes, the original poster's bankid app, this is a valuable tool, as it's a relatively trivial app that doesn't exist on the platform, but to claim this as a library of apps for Linux now would quickly turn off users. Hell, WINE or a virtual PC environment will give you much better apps than Android will.
not just that, if you switch ISPs, you're screwed. At least the ISPs here in Edmonton, you stop service, email is done. No forwarding, nothing. Hell, anybody subscribing to them can then claim the email address...
You are mistaken. The monthly payments are necessary in order to keep your legs nice and healthy. The corporations can't be held responsible if you stop paying and something just happens to occur...
No, it's all fake. We have to wait for the real report that Trump personally is researching and then is going to write. It will be GLORIOUS! And not fake news.
No, because a good sysadmin would like to eat something besides mac&cheese, and the company prefers to pay wages that would require you live with your parents rent free, and on your "special night" you can afford to spring for mac&cheese...for yourself.

I'm sure he was inconsolable the whole way to the bank.
No, just make them drone cars, and then outsource the driving. Make it an online game: "Get this car from here to here as fast as possible"
What could go wrong?

Some people don't care about this.
Some do.
But never stand next to a leaning elephant when you do it. You wind up getting squashed!

Murder!

So, you can use apps "designed" for a pretty small screen with a touch-only UI, on a large monitor with a keyboard/mouse?
I suppose that's better than just sitting on the floor with the lights off, but not by much.
She definitely wouldn't hire him, as she knows his work ethic. And his porn habits.
Gee, wish we could force this to happen to cable tv providers and content...
Donald has been claiming that he, personally, is responsible for the increase in the stock market, since he was made the RNC candidate for President.
What you have to worry about is "How many hours can someone spend watching someone else play minecraft before bashing their skull in?"
Yes, it's always cheaper to take someone else's data and present it as your own.
This isn't google winning by doing something better.

You have to come back from fantasyland. She was your sister, and you roofied her... And the "other cousin" was one of her stuffed dolls.
Hulk smash!
He never road dinosaurs, because they didn't exist in his universe. They are basically the original "fake news" to him.

Both Microsoft and Google are both going "Why the fuck are we not doing this?"
....Now we can.
No, we could do this all along. "Now we WILL!"
