because even if there's demand, they may not have the money to spend to meet the demand if you tax them heavily. and business is not only about meeting existing demand, it's about creating products and services that create demand for new things, AKA r&d.
p.s., i'm not claiming that this works, i'm just noting the philosophy.
in reality, any "trickle-down" is completely accidental. in most cases maximizing (short-term) profit means offshoring, cutting jobs, closing factories, increasing H1-B visas (putting downward pressure on wages), and so on.
low-income people are generally low-income because they don't save their money
i think you are confused. low income people don't have money to save. if you think that the only reason people are poor is because they spend all their money, you need to get out of your basement more often.
the idea is that if you give money to wealthy people and corporations, they will use it to expand or build new companies which will result in more jobs for low-income folks. more jobs means less unemployment, which means more demand for workers and higher wages.
The question is if it right to take so much wealth not for the purpose of running a government and safety, but to subsidize pet projects and re-allocate the money to people or people groups to "help" them.
... whooooooosh... both candidates are advocating reallocation. romney wants to re-allocate to the wealthy through top-tier and corporate tax cuts. the report shows, with data to back it up, that this doesn't benefit the economy...
"The reduction in the top tax rates appears to be uncorrelated with saving, investment, and productivity growth. The top tax rates appear to have little or no relation to the size of the economic pie. However, the top tax rate reductions appear to be associated with the increasing concentration of income at the top of the income distribution."
This "stunt" was pulled back in September as a run-of-the-mill decision. Three guesses as to why it was publicized THIS week?
and the pedophile says: "i molested that little girl back in 2007. i can't believe they decided to bring it up when i applied for my new teaching position."
why did they bring it up now? to try and keep those liars that are hiding the truth from getting elected? duh.
The application when you start it has no ability to access protected resources (Address Book and location and photos are protected). Network access is not a protected resource, but since it has no ability to see any of your data yet that does not matter.
network isn't a protected resource? since it's a service that can cost me real money if it's abused, it should be. what if the app starts downloading a huge database file locally to the device, over my network connection?
btw, on android, access to the network must be granted with a permission. +1 android.
I rather think you are missing the point. One of the an operating system should do is provide useable and effective access controls so that I can run other software with a correct level of isolation.
my god. both platforms enforce security. that isn't even in question. the only reason you are seeing the stats in TFA is because android makes permissions explicit in the manifest where they can be read by any 3rd party. and of course android enforces those permission, if you accept them. if you don't accept them, then the app does not get installed.
If a charge comes up, I reference that conversation and it's their problem. No charge has come up.
that's good that it has not come up, because if you think referencing previous conversation with a support rep is going to help, i have a bridge to sell you.
did you know that for almost all the permissions that must be requested by an android app, iOS just allows any app full access with no warning to the user whatsoever? those after-installation popups are reserved for a few special things... as they'd have to be, since the user would get extremely annoyed if there were popups for the each of the fine-grained permissions that an android app can request.
A large part of the problem is that Android groups permissions together too much.
there's not an easy solution to that. android permissions a compromise between being not fine grained enough and too fine grained. if there are more fine grained, users have a massive list of permissions to slog through. if they are not fine grained enough, users are unable to determine why or if the app actually needs that permission.
there are parts of san jose that are nearly ghost towns. acre after acre of FOR LEASE office / manufacturing buildings. but you are right, they keep building new stuff. i guess because no company wants to move into a depressing 1970's office.
Considering it has about as much features of an old 16 GB iPhone 4s, I'd sure hope it would be less.
that "old" 4s has a weaker processor and lesser display, and costs exactly the same. huh. i guess maybe when you compare phones you need to do a little better research,
i can buy a 32GB micro SD card for $20. that's retail. but google charges +$50 for +8GB? that, and it has to be cheaper for them to add flash internally that for me to buy a retail-packaged micro SD card?
even assuming retail prices, they should be able to ship a 32GB version for less than $20 more, and still make the same profit on the extra memory that would otherwise be made on selling the memory retail... ?
i understand that they might want to milk customers here... but if they are really trying to beat apple on prices, offering a low-priced 32 or 64GB model seems like a no-brainer.
if you install a lot of games, the space goes quick. it's not uncommon for a game to take up over 1GB of local storage. i have one (bard's tale) that takes up over 1.6GB.
also, if you ever want to pre-load movie rips, you are looking at 700MB-1.4GB each.
However, wages for H-1B workers are illegal if they're lower than what would normally be paid to an American working in the same position. Stop making the H-1B program the boogeyman. If it's being abused, go after the abusers.
like that matters. the grades at companies are completely subjective. they can make up whatever they want. "well gee i see that you have 10 year experience but 5 of it wasn't directly related to this job so i have to make you an MTS-3 instead of an MTS-4." see how easy that was?
it's also very difficult for companies to fire workers, but somehow companies manage to "lay-off" the workers they don't want. "oops, we're downsizing / offshoring / reorganizing, there's no longer a place for you here." they can make up whatever they want.
the *only* protection you have at work is your value to the company. laws do crap for you.

hey i'm with you.
in reality, any "trickle-down" is completely accidental. in most cases maximizing (short-term) profit means offshoring, cutting jobs, closing factories, increasing H1-B visas (putting downward pressure on wages), and so on.
I'm not enough of an economic expert to say whether or not this *actually* works, but the theory runs something like that.
well thank goodness TFA links to a document that shows factually that it doesn't work.

i think you are confused. low income people don't have money to save. if you think that the only reason people are poor is because they spend all their money, you need to get out of your basement more often.
Whats a high-salary person to do with their money other than set it on fire or spend it?
if you can't figure out anything to do with your money other than spend or burn it, you should not be participating in this conversation.
the idea is that if you give money to wealthy people and corporations, they will use it to expand or build new companies which will result in more jobs for low-income folks. more jobs means less unemployment, which means more demand for workers and higher wages.

In all fairness it was GOOGLE refusing Apple to use the Turn-by-Turn results
do you know the details? do you know that google didn't offer it at a fair licensing fee and apple refused to pay? no? be quiet.

There is no reason to not get the most available storage of any device you get unless it will never leave home.
ummmm ... cost?

can someone explain this to me?

I don't know but I can only guess that having all VNV Nation albums alone would be 2+ GB, possibly 2.5.
then upload them to google music, and then they only use up 0 bytes of local storage.
1/2 the price of an iphone. win.
negative. HD == 720p, which is ~1280x720px.

In the EU any worker from *any* EU nation can work in any other EU nation.
can a thai worker work in any EU nation? an american worker? a brazilian worker? if not, then what's your point?

And this foreigner will almost certainly become a citizen.
foreigners never ever leave? they never send money and wealth back to their country of origin?
