Do they mean the development cost or the unit cost?
The A380 cost 15 Billion euros to develop, and has a unit cost of $440 million to buy.

How is this different than the Uber app AT&T just installed on my phone as part of a software update?

Then stop arguing and go to Google at Work or Office365 and give them unlimited data. I guarantee it's cheaper.

Anyone with a credit card can buy IT services, throw a bunch of corporate data into them, and no one knows they did it. When that person leaves, and the boss suddenly wants that data, or legal needs it for eDiscovery, or IA needs data for the quarterly report only to discover all the data is in an non-SOX approved app with un-approved, undocumented access to a random collection of employees who all had read/write access...GAH!
Need the revenue report for Q3? Okay, here, go to mega.nz...

That is a really good price for 4K. I guess you are comparing it to 1080p, but since the article and your post was about adding G-SYNC to a 4K panel, I'm not sure why you'd do that.

Really? 47 square yards. Who uses "square yards" as an area measurement?
Took me all of two seconds to find out this is 423 sq ft, but still...

Not open source yet, but it should be pretty soon. The plan was to release the code when the Mac client was complete. The Mac client is in beta (and pretty solid), so if they stick to the plan, should be "real soon now".
Lightworks is my favorite, by the way. Extremely powerful, albeit with some quirks. Familiarity with ffmpeg is very helpful as the conversions are the toughest part. I image someone will integrate an ffmepg front-end once the source is released.

Always lock your phone and set media to sync to the cloud (if you can afford the data...). It would have been really interesting to hear what the cops told the judge when they sought a warrant to unlock it.

Correct.
What make anyone think:
NSA agents aren't working at Google, Microsoft, Verisign, etc.
Anyone checks who actually signed the certs. Almost all devices trust a few DoD root certs by default.
Going to slashdot is safe? No SSL here. Do any of these GIFs, JPGs or PNGs contain exploits?

This has nothing to do with copyright. The Superman logo is a trademark, which has different protections and rules about maintaining those protections. They can't loan it out without risking dilution.

Yes... for Businesses.
Businesses pay on all capital assets, not just real property. Individuals do not pay property taxes on durable goods, so this only applies to businesses.

Attached to: How Free-To-Play Is Constricting Mobile Games
"The people who PAY FOR GAMES, want FREEMIUM."
Just because you state a bunch of interesting statistics about what constitutes who puts money down for games, doesn't mean the end result isn't meaningful. As a business, what do you care what your non-paying customers want? They are not customers.
You're asking for money, the people with the money are telling you how they recoup their money and you earn money yourself. Perhaps you should listen.

Churn the network, storage and server vendors to constantly reduce costs.
