Well, yes. That's the point. One of the largest reasons for breaking up huge vertical monopolies is that the cost of entry for other participants is too high because the monopoly can subsidize one side of the business with the others. Can anyone else create a viable mapping, searching, or other business competing with them? No, not really. The only competitor they have in any of these is in Smartphone Mobile OS -- which is a duopoly with Apple.
So are you proposing a consumer pay-per search model, or a monthly subscription? Or is the search company supposed to be taking money from the sites who'll pay for higher rankings? Mapping probably only makes sense as a consumer subscription service.
To be 100% accurate, Nexus devices are yours.
It's a shame they've taken that away with their new Pixel line.
People finally realized most smart watches are useless unless you're also carrying the phone it's connected to, in which case, yeah, what's the point?
Because it's quicker and a little more discreet to glance at a wrist than pull out a phone? Because they don't actually need to be connected to the phone to have a lot of functionality (Sony has built in GPS, 4 GB of storage for music, almost like it was meant to be able to be used when working out or running) Because it's kind of nice to has watch where I can play with the way it looks. Because a vibrating/buzzing watch wakes me up nicely without waking up my wife. Because voice control via a watch allows me to control my phone when I'm driving and the phone is connected to the head unit of my car.
free overage protection
You mean overage protection included in the price, right? Or overage protection at no additional charge. There's a difference between those things and free (I'm not even talking about the free/libre differences).
to simply see if it uncovers some of the "poorly understood" and "sloppily formulated" parts of our justice systems
Given the immense amount of laws and court cases, I can guarantee that there are contradictions and inconsistencies in our legal system. I don't know if you'd really want to find them all. I've often wondered what it would take to codify contracts and contract law, but I don't know if we'd really want that for criminal law.
Sorry but that's ageist and sexist
But it's also statistically correct
If all the world's economists were laid end to end, we wouldn't reach a conclusion. -- William Baumol
