What is so important about email in 2012? Tell your contacts your new email, and change restore email option at web resources. Sure, it is a bit uncomfortable and will take 1-2 days to finish, but probability of this scenario is very low.

Gamepads are shitty too and that doesn't prevent consoles to sell in gazillions. My fingers tire after 30 minutes of active gaming and I can't possibly play longer that an hour, my thumbs are burning by that point. And I can play for days (

Worse thing is that this crap games occupy Top charts of the store (along with ad-ware), so digging for hidden treasures is actually a game of itself. Sometimes you can notice a game in a "Customers also bought" section, sometimes in a "dev

This is more because of secrecy (and ignorance). Any company of such scale is engaged in hundreds patent disputes every year at least, maybe thousands, maybe tens of thousands, it really hard even to estimate. And this continues for decades
