What's the deal with that? How can they justify converting a paid app into an ad-supported one?
Surely there will have been some legal cases by now for the times that has happened. I mean, I personally just delete the app and never* buy from that publisher again, but surely some class action lawyers have been able to get a lot of money for themselves and a small coupon for the many many victims of this practice over the years.
Same way shipping ports do it. You have professional a pilot meet the vehicle in a place it can reach on it's own, and take over driving to specific last-mile destinations.
Little tiny one ounce packets would be ridiculously easy to smuggle in.

Ok, so the top marginal tax rate was 90%. How much did those millionaires actually end up paying, though?
I'm not sure who you're buying from if you're burning out a refrigerator in less than 5 years, but if you're buying any of the major brands, you shouldn't really be seeing functional issues five years. Are you running it off of an inverter?

You don't need an actual billion dollars on-hand, you need insurance for a billion dollars. The premium for which needs to be lower per episode than the revenue for each episode, but that can be arranged by limiting the number of questions per episode, raising the number of questions before reaching the grand prize, and increasing the difficulty of the questions. It's entirely possible to arrange things so that the risk of a payout is low enough to have a profitable show.
Of course.. you wouldn't be able to have a winner most years, so that might be a negative for viewership, but all of the factors are within your control, and you could have such a show at pretty much any budget level (that an insurance company will bother with) by tweaking the conditions.
A space mission's costs will be what they will be. If you're definitely going to do the mission, you can't get rid of them by something as simple as tweaking a number of dice rolls.
A decade ago South Korea had had a well-publicized StarCraft obsession for years. The fact that they are stuck on ActiveX is due to them being early adopters of internet banking and government activities.
