yeah its interesting, and that is why I asked it that way to see if people smarter than myself could argue it (either side of the discussion). I find it weird that if I were to buy and apple device, and I wanted to write my own program to

Oh its extremely user hostile, but Amazon makes money either way. Counterfeit, bait and switch, commingling inventory, all of that doesn't matter because the transaction volume going out is still greater than the refunds and unhappy u

> iOS is not a licensed product like Windows Do developers not need to pay $100 a year to write code for it? (for software that will run longer than a couple weeks on a device). To run IOS no, it develop for it, yes?

It has been a few years since I did the research but Im positive you were allowed to send anything up under a specific weight (I do not remember the weights but I Think it was under 7lbs or 5lbs). Not a lot but quite a bit. Most people we

I Think Room 641a put what you say clearly into question, [p]. THe government has hooks into Skype when MS bought them and it went from P2P to P2S2P. I firmly believe the government has direct access to MS, FB, Google, etc.... Either pe

Don't both these companies allow the US government unfettered access to this data? Pot meet kettle, kettle meet pot.

I wanted to do Astronomy or Astrophysics as a degree/career choice when I was growing up. What changed my mind was every single astronomer or astrophysicist I spoke to about pursuing the career literally told me not to. No jobs, no m

Schools are doing that because they are cheap and easy. Funding in schools (at least in the US) is extremely difficult. If Google is going to subsidize your hardware and software in exchange for your habits I can see why schools are left

It's the restaurants and drivers that are losing out. Small local businesses that are eating this loss in profits.

Is this the company that used to take tip money and apply it to the drivers per hour rate? Effectively reducing drivers take home pay?

I think Amazon is licensing that tech to all 3rd party sellers now right?

Isn't that just tuning compared to the race as a loss leader for market share?

It's tough to say, I think profitability would come faster than being a taxi company with an app (disregarding freight and air for now). But I think there is a much wider prospective customer base and recurring revenue licensing the t

They are a logistics and pricing company. If they would license this tech they'd be rich beyond belief. They companies could really be Uber-for-X.

There is a lot there, and some of it is apples to apples and some is definitely apples to oranges. I'm just saying overall you have the same number of headaches, they are just different headaches. Just last week there was significant
