The Play store "people you know" ratings are surprisingly helpful.

$15 billion since 2008 ... minus Apple's 30% cut ... that's 10.5 billion ... over 7 years ... $1.5 billion a year .. divided by 300,000 iOS jobs created in the US equals $5,000 over 7 years, or $714 per dev per year average.

This doesn't take into account the people working in the rest of the world,

You already had the OSx running Apple device then?

30% off the top is pretty substantial.

Because my time is worth much more than the fee and the development hardware I would have to buy. If I could eliminate a week of testing due to having a more restrictive platform, I've made up the difference in dev costs.

Depends on the country. In the US Apple users spend more, in China not so much.

Are you joking? That's irrelevant since Apple recruits from around the country.

Apple's categorizations are consistent with national demographic categories. All the ethnicities you list would fall under "Asian".

(The US as a whole is about 73% white, or 63% non-Hispanic white, meaning whites are underrepresented in Apple's workforce, no matter how you count.)

When working conditions are so bad that suicide is a better alternative, I would say that is a real problem.

This goes in the 50% of marketing. If you have a diversity policy, it's a diversity policy. If you communicate over your diversity policy, it's PR.

Oh i'm sorry is that horse not dead yet? perhaps he wasn't referring to the one thing you seem to be sure he was referring too..

Is this a problem? Personally, I don't think so. It just means that more women are interested in teaching younger children, and the men who are there are because they want to be. I doubt there's some grand conspiracy to prevent men from becoming kindergarten teachers.
