Step 1 remove ALL the freaking flashlight, mirror, and fart apps. All of them.
Step 2 no longer allow any app that replicates abilities in the stock phone.
Step 3 Free ad choked apps are not allowed to be called "free" but "advertising supported"
Step 4 eliminate in app purchases.
Step 5 only apps that have no ads can be called free, groups can release open source free apps for zero cost to them.
Step 6 all apps have a 30 minute 100% refund return policy. If I buy an app and find it is crap, I can get a 100% refund and it is removed from my phone.

THAT is how you fix not only the apple store but the android and all other "app" stores.

I get your drift, but the Earned Income Tax Credit program is a poor example of something to pick on. EITC is one of the very few financial aid programs out there that both Republicans and Democrats like because they agree it's effective. The short version is that the EITC rewards you for going out and getting a job, which is where the "earned income" in the name comes from. It was created to combat the paradox that getting a low-wage job can disqualify you from getting certain types of welfare, resulting in you making less money by working than if you just lived off government assistance. So EITC "grosses up" your working income to make sure you have an incentive to be gainfully employed and you aren't losing out on benefits because you're working.

You don't get the EITC by being jobless or living off public assistance; it in essence gives you an additional incentive to work. So while you may think that our welfare programs are busted in general, EITC is not the piece of that program to criticize.

Do you think we can get away with being incredibly cheap and not wasting money on writing documentation?

Honestly, write documentation. Only the scummy companies dont.

No she replies, "what? Again?"

In fact a LOT of people ask siri , "where can I hide a dead body" It's one of the funniest Easter eggs siri has."

If your OS takes 512Mb then you really need to switch to something else. I fit my OS, all software and all the files I need 24/7 access to on my 512 SSD just fine and that is with a couple of 40gb VM images on it.

OCZ is known to be junk that fail with a very short lifespan. Call me when a RELIABLE SSD like a Samsung or Intel, that has a proven track record hits the $0.50 per GB mark.

no you cant. HTC ONE M8, no way to make it a stock android phone short of unlocking the bootloader, hack to set S-OFF and then install GPE rom or Cyanogenmod Dailies.

something that is WAY out of reach for 90% of android users.

True! that is why you will not buy this crap helmet. The helmet the Skully is based on is a $90 el-cheapo

Only for the squids and harley riders. Read motorcycle riders know better.

http://www.reconinstruments.co... has an already proven solution hardware package that can easily be adapted to a full face helmet.

The problem with Skully is their chosen base helmet sucks, it's great for freaks with smushed heads, but normal people with round heads it's uncomfortable. so they will need to offer about 80 different helmet sizes to make a $1500-$2000 helmet fit everyone that wants to buy one.

But does it come with the buckets of SUCK that HTC piles into the OS? HTC Sense and blinkfeed utterly ruin the Android experience.

"It isn't uncommon for these cases cost over $30.00."
only the trendy crap sold at best buy. I bought an otterbox commuter for $19 online. you can get china cases for as little as $4.00 with free shipping.

No but they are hell bent to repeal the laws of common sense and sanity.

Sane people put the phone in a case so when you drop it it is protected. It's the trendy hipsters that refuse to use a case so that everyone can enjoy the glorious art that their phone is.
