I think custom ring tones were on their way out before the first iPhone was released. Personally, hearing a portion of a song you love daily is the quickest way to ruin the song. Ring tones were a fad IMO. A piece of bling that wasn’t worth the cost.

Holy cow. How are people downplaying something so revolutionary. Without those other tests SpaceX wouldn’t have done what it did today and they show progress each step. They are doing what nasa couldn’t (send stuff to space orders of magnitude cheaper) because they aren’t afraid to blow stuff up.

From a user's perspective that is incredibly hostile. They push digital goods as more convenient than physical media but don't make it clear that you lose the right to download it after a certain time. That functionality is sold as a benefit but the limited time isn't made clear.

I bought one of the wwe wrestling games for my kid on my xbox account. Few years later there was a new version he wanted. After playing it he wanted to play the old version. The studio had removed it from the Microsoft store because they wanted to force people to new version. Even though I owned it I couldn’t install from Microsoft store. I contacted support and was told I had to copy it from the xbox it was installed on. I never bought anymore games from that studio. That was years ago and now there are more and more examples of not owning what you paid for.

If we spent half as much money helping people with recovery as we spend incarcerating them, there would be a lot of improvement. There are addicts that are tired of being addicts but can’t get help. I’m talking about in patient treatment plans where they can be monitored and assisted with various methods to deal with withdrawal.

Free market capitalism only works when there is competition. Big companies buying out the competition to limit consumer choices and effectively stall innovation is exactly the things the government should be protecting against to keep the ‘free market’ thriving.

If you think about what some of these events are it makes sense because the human population continues to grow and having more people and more money means we are constantly setting new high scores.

This loophole needs to be closed. Companies have the power to do harm on a large scale with bo repercussions. Fines become a cost of doing business. How is reporting incorrect data to the federal government which is used for grants not flat out fraud?

If the cocktail influencer started making videos with the intent of getting paid then their judgement is already clouded. Even if they decided they wanted to do the morally correct thing and give honest reviews, their livelihood now depends on this income and as such they are biased subconsciously. Ultimately they are self-employed advertisers. We need less advertising in this world, IMO.
