The issue is apple. Since when/why would someone rely on and/or trust apple?
Put something out cross platform, everywhere - so that a refusal by Apple means nothing.
I really don't understand how it's this hard for people to recognize that relying on a single platform is an incredibly poor idea. Ever since the inception of "web 2.0" the concept of a platform is broken into a limited functionality/walled garden.
remind me how that works out for you when percentage of income taxed under ~250k (meglon is incorrect on amounts) is about 3x as much as anything above that. Literally. Sales tax + income tax + county tax + state tax + city tax + housing tax + gas tax. You're lucky if 50% of your income isn't taxed.
Guess which of these can be easily remedied by putting aside some of your money to tax-free solutions, which people under 250k have the option of? none of them.
The top 50% pays more taxes because 1% of that "top 50%" pays more taxes. the other 49% pay zero or get paid by the government instead of paying taxes. Charitable deductions are anything but when the purpose is merely to cut your taxes and donate to your own foundation, while sheltering your profits.
The problem is, GMO is not something easily identifiable. For people who are not that interested in the science involved it's fairly intangible. You can't really go out and say non organic apples! these must be monsanto! or Organic apples! These cannot be monsanto! Not to mention that governments dont tend to give a shit, outside of Europe.
Monsanto, patents aside, does horrible shit with GMO. It's not limited to their patents. So does Cargill, who happens to make all sorts of falsely claimed "healthy products". Unethical companies continue to perpetually do unethical things. That doesn't change.
So where's the answer? I don't see one. I don't even see a path towards meaningful dialogue given that the gov't is too busy allowing things like corn subsidies to give a shit about whether or not organic food has side effects, etc.
well contracts are all nice to not lose huge profits and all, but if you're having a company manufacture things for you whom can't manufacture reliably, then you might have made a poor business decision.
I'm sure banging the drum of "but you agreed to X quantity in your contract" when they can't produce X quantity is going to solve the problem of physical stock. (sarcasm)
That's the best way to do it, really. Take advantage of their lack of logic by at least making a profit.
Now if only people would trade in their violent video games for guns and go shooting this southingonSOS folks, it might be on an equal level of logic to what they're doing. Nothing like the equivalent of "Voluntary" book burning, because clearly that's worked out so well in the past.
Samsung wasn't a competitor unless you're being deliberately opaque. They were a customer and/or a business partner. That's like saying that the grocery store is competition with a gas/petrol station because they both sell water. There can be competition and still be a business partner. It's when you can't understand the distinction that you should not be employed.
Most people don't try to avoid a business partner just because you perceive that they are only your competition. Your business partners want to keep your business too as both sides benefit, but it's based on trust - something Apple lacked.
Let me know what happens when you tell people they owe you money for your hard efforts, when there's no agreement in place. Why don't you go to a place other than your work and say that because you put in effort, you deserve $$. Let me know how that goes for ya.
This is a second time of doing the same - which makes things even more idiotic. Apple is determined to cut off their nose to spite their face, apparently.
Where does government spying even come into play at the moment? I'm genuinely confused. Regardless, enabling easier spying goes both ways - it becomes easier to spy on the government too.
They don't pull videos for inflating views, but nice try on your full of shit post in the first place. If this weren't a troll, you'd link to a video. Then again, it is a troll. The "google is evil, I'm going to the alternatives, see y'all" trollpost.
The view inflation is not about hitting refresh on a video either - it's more like that the companies in question were paying people to actually artificially inflate views. You could have trolled better.
don't waste my time with your false flag troll. Was it invented at CMU? no, but thanks for trying. Was this about licensing? no. Is this going to stand under appeal? no. The fact that other patents cover the same thing guarantees that there is a 0% chance that this was independently invented anywhere in the world, let alone by CMU which is not Central Michigan University.
You answered your own question immediately: correlation is not causation
At best studies link to people feeling angered/incensed/violent during the playing of the video games, but it doesn't directly translate to anything afterwards.
This pretty much makes CMU a patent troll. The $billions offered just shows juries have no idea what they're doing in regards to patents. 2 claims across 2 patents = billions? That by itself is ridiculous.
Litigation lottery by a university is pretty despicable, though.
Just like the study, ignorance goes both ways as well.
Weed isn't about to expand people's brains, but to say that a single study is even remotely relevant without research and validation from those who can analyze the study is questionable at best. Add this to the mix of "people just don't like that other people smoke weed", as opposed to anything based on facts.
So with the entire planet having too much for the environment to absorb and yet CO2 is trending higher, where exactly are these locations supposed to be? There's nowhere left.
This isn't a "the next generation can deal with it".

Wrong gambit.
MS/Apple/Oracle/Rockstar/Fairsearch's gambit just failed with this settlement.

Originally $150/mo going towards various TV things, now down to $35/mo myself as well. $0 soon enough.
Roku + torrents + spotify + netflix + pandora + amazon prime -> no use for TV whatsoever.

then you're not renting the item in question - you're being forced to rent something else.
AK Marc is correct in his argument here.
TSMC is at the forefront of producing chips, yes. The word that's not there is successfully. It's not entirely their fault, except that it is.
Examples: http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2012/04/19/qualcomm-28nm-capacity/1

What are you talking about? They already had a hardware version of the Google Maps fiasco - it cost them money to bail out Sharp.
This is a second time of doing the same - which makes things even more idiotic. Apple is determined to cut off their nose to spite their face, apparently.
say wha?
Where does government spying even come into play at the moment? I'm genuinely confused. Regardless, enabling easier spying goes both ways - it becomes easier to spy on the government too.
They should get paid?
Absolutely not. They can *ask* to be paid, but there is no right to get paid or "Should". There is no entitlement that the effort you spend = $$.
The distinction is that requiring that you get money for your effort is borderline extortion.
They don't pull videos for inflating views, but nice try on your full of shit post in the first place. If this weren't a troll, you'd link to a video. Then again, it is a troll. The "google is evil, I'm going to the alternatives, see y'all" trollpost.

or just register a google voice number, so they never have your real number and you can block any unwanted calls.

actually, the opposite is true. He just enabled everything he wanted *from* android.
So no, this is not android being crippled.

No, it doesn't.
Why doesn't it mean x86 is ahead? Because x86 has had years of development ahead of ARM. Also because x86 uses proprietary microcode.
So having them equal means ARM is a significant benefit.
So with the entire planet having too much for the environment to absorb and yet CO2 is trending higher, where exactly are these locations supposed to be? There's nowhere left.
This isn't a "the next generation can deal with it".
therefore, nothing?
I cannot believe you are willing to slay those innocent pixels, you monster! Maybe you should instead save them from the evil dust.
