Boxing is kind of a great analogy here, but not in the way you think. Boxers have this concept called "telegraphing" to call out patterns of movement that indicate what they're about to do. It's one of the easiest ways

If your drivers regularly park illegally no one is "taking advantage of your company" by showing up on schedule to issue a ticket. I'll acknowledge that bogus tickets might be a problem (that isn't my experience), but

It sounds like your idea of content is "things on Netflix or free on Amazon". No, you will not get new releases there and in my opinion it is unreasonable to expect that. I was honestly surprised at how quickly The Avengers foun

I took the "there's no way back to iOS6" to mean that they'd run it on the phone before, which would mean they were on a 5. Thanks, Apple, for these wonderfully ambiguous names.

I've had it on the iPhone 5 since iOS7 released and have seen none of these issues. Not sure it's appropriate to claim that your experience is representative, especially since hardware-wise the 5 and 5c are practically identical.

I don't think your comparison makes sense. When Amazon was at the stage Dropbox is at now investors were taking a risk I thought was insane. That risk paid off, but there are countless examples that didn't. Amazon now practically

You're right to doubt your personal evidence at this point. Almost everyone I know who has a Dropbox account pays for it.

Netflix also has a very different use case. Building a data center that can meet the storage needs of Dropbox seems much simpler than building one that can meet the compute/bandwidth needs of Netflix.

...what does that have to do with anything? It's the actual name of the act. Making up a new name for something to signal your disapproval is the fastest way I can think of to indicate you aren't capable of discussion.
