I did this, accidentally on purpose. Had been an XSport customer, who got purchased by LA Fitness. They closed my XSport club. The card I used for payment was compromised, so I cancelled it with my bank. LA Fitness tried to charge it and of course it failed. They called me up after a month and asked for a new card. I told them I wanted to cancel. They threatened to send it to collections. I told them I wouldn't pay and would dispute. They claimed they needed a token payment to close things down. I agreed to pay 1 cent per account (I had 3 for my family). I got them on recording to commit to charging me that, and they would not charge me further. I specifically recorded them saying there would be no further charges. So of course, one month later they charged me for each account. Called my bank to dispute and they said I had to talk to them again. Called LA Fitness up, read them the riot act and had them reverse the charges. Took them a day to do it, but I finally got it reversed for all 3 accounts. The weird thing is that one of the charges was reversed using the original account number that had been compromised and cancelled. The FTC is right on this. It is way too hard, and their system is so fucked up, they can't even to it right.

It's right there in the 2nd paragraph, it says Advertisers are seeing revenue drops, not Developers. Of course you could expect someone representing advertisers to be deceptive. Most advertising is based on deception. Not all apps use advertising, the title suggests those are losing revenue too. Also, reading through the interview it is 75% bullshit industry buzzwords.

You have already been given two links where it is available. Sure, it is a loss leader at many places, but that doesn't make in unavailable. Why do you insist it isn't available? Will it make you happy if I keep buying them for $5 or $1 or whatever and sell to you? I'll take your 50% markup.

In the US, Microcenter. I've picked up 4 so far. They usually have a limit of one per customer. http://www.microcenter.com/pro... Actually, at the time I posted this, it was listed as $0.99. No, really.

The Oculus Rift comment was lame. Of course a Mac notebook isn't going to have graphics up to snuff for VR. How many PC notebooks are up to the task? 2? 3 maybe? Sure, Mac desktops suck for VR, but this article isn't about those.

If you played the 'Harpoon' paper and pencil naval wargame in the late 80s, early 90s - not the later computer game that was based on the board game - this system was available to British ships in the Falkland Island scenarios. Given that the rules for the game were based on openly published data, I don't see how this is really 'news' to anyone. A quick search shows that there are references to this system in other publications in the 90s as well. The game effect was to cause planes at low altitude to break off their attack. For planes at very low altitude, namely Argentine pilots trying to fly below the engagement altitude of British SAMs, there was a percentage chance the plane would crash into the water.

Take a look at why and how you're going through consumer grade equipment so quickly. Are you using it in a hot/dusty or otherwise detrimental environment? If so, buying expensive "enterprise" equipment is wasting your money. Unless you've had a rash of bad luck, there's no reason for so many failures.
