Android is so core to Google's business that I don't think they will kill it. It's become something of a selling point on their Nexus phones. I'll be disappointed if I have to switch.
He threatened a boycott. Apple has to do something.

Exactly. The government was going to spend money on refugee housing and services anyway. If the brothers can provide suitable accommodations cheaper than anyone else can they deserve the profits.

The Raspberry Pi Zero even compares favorably to the Cray 1 supercomputer from 1975.

The author is either ignorant of economics or intentionally misrepresenting the facts to advance his pro-union agenda. I can't take his piece seriously.
He ignores the fact that rent control causes housing not to be built and so raises prices for everyone who doesn't already have a rent controlled apartment.
Reagan was elected in no small part because of the high unemployment + inflation under Carter. If the 70's were so great would Carter have lost to Reagan by 10 points? If Reagan was so terrible would he have been reelected in a landslide in 1984?

My second guess was 0, 0, 0. My third was -1, -2, -4.
Re:Same-Sex Marriage Is a Right, Supreme Court Rules

The dissenting opinions make that point. While I support gay marriage, the Supreme Court overstepped their authority in this case. The Legislative branch writes laws, not the Judicial. Public opinion on the definition of marriage should change future laws, not past laws.

If I see 'Bush' now I actually think Jeb, who wants to be #45.

Forming a chocolate cartel would be one way to keep prices high. OPEC and De Beers are two successful examples from recent history.

If Apple bought Tesla...
-The car would only have one pedal, not two, to make it easier for new drivers.
-It won't have Windows.
-The navigation would use Apple Maps.

It's a little south of the marker on the map in the article, but it is still on Google Maps.

As you can see from http://bitcoindifficulty.com/ the difficulty is growing exponentially. It seems to be doubling every 8 weeks or so. If you get your 400GH/s rig at the end of the month you might not even break even.
