You're looking at it from the wrong perspective. Your username is EvolutionInAction, well death is evolution in action. It's uncomfortable to think about, but the long refinement process of evolution requires the old generation to die off after passing on the most beneficial genes to the new generation. Without death, species would not advance.
Rather, we should not be afraid of death as some ultimate end, but instead realize our real opportunity for life beyond death, i.e. living through the genes and memes we have passed on in our lifetime. Through these, our "spirit" can be said to live on, in a very literal way.
A dramatic, fictional show is not given a high rating for being realistically accurate. We're not watching a reality show after all, are we? It earned its high score from delivering an incredible dramatic experience, realistic enough in parts to allow you to suspend disbelief at others.
Unless you only happen to sell around $50, hosting, bandwidth and transaction fees should be a drop in the bucket and nowhere near 30%. But as you mention, good luck getting anyone to run your software if it didn't come from "the app store."
Jobs was the only tech industry giant with the gall to assume that he deserved a cut of every piece of software sold over his company's platforms, and this is why they made multiple pushes to take over and lock down the entire software industry. I'm not saying Windows or Android are better, but at least those users can run whatever software they want. Jobs was always a megalomaniac.

I simply don't trust a company that farms out their userbase's private information for monetary gain, and swats down class-action lawsuits brought by its userbase one after another. While Google claims to have an unofficial "do-no-evil" policy, Facebook makes no such claim and their actions generally follow suit.
As is obligatory in any discussion of phone cameras, there is a fundamental difference between a device designed solely for photography, and one where photography is a relatively minor feature in a device designed mostly for mobility and communication. Advancements in this second field should be considered in an entirely different light (if you'll pardon the pun).
Assange merely set up a website allowing people to leak any information anonymously, regardless of the impact, without having to face the consequences. Snowden took measured, deliberate action, releasing information specifically related to our civil liberties, even allowing time for those responsible to come forward before continuing to release information. How does the Collateral Damage video or the multitude of diplomatic cables released over wikileaks compare to just one of Snowden's many revelations?

This is more accurate than many of the casually-invested (surely including plenty of environmentalists) realize.

But it isn't trans-fats that makes food "taste good"
So all those FOX cartoons lied to me?!
Does this mean... the content of a commercial network may be influenced by its advertisers? Oh my..
Technically they were dismissive of P2P-cooked meth as being "biker meth," not necessarily blue meth.

Joffrey is poisoned.
Jesus, it's 30%? I thought it was 10%. Sickening.

Sega Channel was doing this back in the 90's.
Soon we may need another habitable planet whether the locals like it or not.
Yeah man, it's all part of the hidden anarchist agenda.
Unless they happened to fall into that 4%. Then that murderer/rapist walks free while an innocent man is tortured to death for no reason.
If federal kill-switch legislation is passed, those mobile devices may require a function (by law) allowing them to be remotely wiped.
And here I'd always heard that Amazon women were particularly cutthroat..
"Progenitor" might fit the first dog better.

Maybe he was dictating
Expanding to related industries to lower internal costs is known as vertical integration and has been making industrialists rich for over a century.

What if you need to jot something down and all you have is some glass, a furnace, some aligning pegs...

You don't need to play StarCraft to be able to play StarCraft.
