I did, which is why I said "usually". This happened to me twice, and I've never had to go through so much trouble. Furthermore, as to letting PayPal know about a sale, it _is_ possible. The first time I had an incident was because of a sale

I once had my PayPal account "temporarily" suspended under similar circumstances. Usually, all you have to do is fax them/upload copies of documents verifying your identity and you should be set within a week, if you're persistent and dilig

Just because they're selling at market price, it doesn't mean that they're not greedy. If they were a bit less greedy, they'd rather have more users for a lower price, which in the long run can actually result in the same revenue. But then

true, you don't have to click them: every website you visit on android that has Google ads on it, or YouTube (more ads) would generate revenue to Google just by visiting it. Plus, some ads run for over $20+ per click, out of which Google su

As I mentioned in a previous comment, they know they'll make tremendous amounts of money from mobile search, and app sales (if/when they pick up for android). Over a year, everyone with android will probably have supplied Google with hundre

It doesn't matter: Google knows it will make good money from mobile search, and if the offer those phones at a market-shattering price, in which the will sell it in volumes, they will more than make up for what they lost in the first place.
