An alternative narrative. This is classical economic group behavior near the top of a bubble. The fed has long goosed its lending programs with cheap money, in an effort to stimulate investment, and to avoid the spectre of spiraling deflation that they were worried would happen after the short deflation of 2009. Capitalists have then, rationally gone out in search of investments to yield a return. However, innovation is a limited resource at any given time, and we're close to tapping out on the amount of possible innovation. Moreover, realizing the full capacity of innovation is limited by the structure of society, wherein identifying entrepreneurs with actual potential is overtaken by identifying artificial 'signals' or 'tropes' of entrepreneurs: lots of false positives, charlatans, people with connections, or people who just got lucky once, are getting money, yields are decreasing.

Accordingly, as capitalists identify that it is becoming difficult to find real investments, their investment behavior decreases, just as the Fed is starting to pay banks to hold cash, to shore up reserves and make banks appear more resilient in the face of their "stress tests". This is artifical disinflation, but the worst type, because normally deflation helps the poor, but by the very mechanism of the current disinflation, it's going to the top. (Austrians: Why is giving money out disinflation? Because in this case it's tied to not lending, and private lending-based monetary expansion has a multiplier effect).

What to expect down the line:

A minor economic crisis as happens occasionally (black swans) will start triggering capitalists to start spending their cash reserves. As this spending hits the market, prices will go up, triggering inflation measures to start accurately reflecting the pent up monetary expansion that the Fed has undergone over the past 8 or so years. As the price of goods goes up, it will no longer make sense to hold onto cash, and moreover, the smart move will be to start investing in goods producers that can take advantage of these increasing prices.

We'll have an inflationary spiral spanning say 2016-2018. Don't worry, it won't be a Wiemar-republic level crisis, but it certainly will not be pleasant for the poorest Americans.

I probably have some details about the macroeconomics wrong, so we shall see whether my prediction comes true. I welcome counter-explanations, and corrections to what I have to say.
It's always possible to get the public key, e.g. see the accepted answer here:

Yeah....haha....

Developing a mobile OS isn't cheap.

The only viable competitor to Android at the moment seems to be iOS. You could go ask Apple how much money they've ploughed into iOS development. It's probably more money than either you or I have seen in our lives before.

Look at what happens when hardware manufacturers try to develop their own OS - e.g. Samsung's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bada

Or even when they try to create basic skins....

The fact of the matter is, they (OEMs) are getting something they historically haven't been able to get right - and if they don't like it, they are free to fork it. E.g. look at Amazon, and their Fire range. (The problem being that now they've forked, they don't get upstream updates, and have to take on the maintenance burden themselves....)

So I have very little sympathy for them - they're getting a pretty good deal. The alternative would be everybody using iPhones or Blackberries...haha.

This is just my take on it, of course =).
While this is technically true it's not exactly the case.
iOS users tend to be of higher income than Android users within a specific country especially in the west.

When it comes to differences between countries its more about social perspective and Apple's operation within each country.

Apple has a huge share of the mobile market in China because having an Apple device is pretty much mandatory as a status symbol there, in South Korea on the other hand Android dominates at over 85% of the market share because of Samsung and LG.

In many European countries Android has the majority of the market share even in very wealthy ones like Germany and the nordic states because of various political and social views and that Apple hasn't been kind to many of the smaller European countries as far as support goes.

Overall in Europe Android's market share is well above 75% and you can't really call them a poor country, the UK probably has the biggest iOS market share in Europe and that's because Apple has a big operation in the UK and the Brits really want to feel American.

Sure if you bring in countries which are extreme cases like Nigeria you'll get a completely skewed picture but mobile phone manufacturers have special devices for emerging markets which are considerably cheaper in many cases running a very limited version of Android (and no Google Play) or some homebrew OS, there aren't that many iPhones in Nigeria but there aren't that many "Samsung Galaxy Edge S plus 6 Curve's" either...
"Our" means specific actors within government.

For other actors in government, such as assembly members, full-disk encrypted operating systems increase freedoms - increase the freedom of having any political view while partaking in taboo activities, without their devices were monitored, without the threat of being blackmailed.

Truman stated that "we want no Gestapo or secret police. The FBI is tending in that direction. They are dabbling in sex-life scandals and plain blackmail.[1]

NSA won't say whether it spies on Congress.[2]

Cable has never been ad-free with the exception of channels that people explicitly paid extra for like HBO.
Laziness, sloppy code conventions, cheap beer, gas station pastries...
iPad does has LTE.
Of course, and almost no-one cares. Smokers in 2016 are like blacks in 1900: they're the pariahs everyone loves to hate. Smoking is banned from buildings; it's not even an option in many places to allow it. Smokers are scorned and looked down upon. Historical dramas whitewash smokers out (or make sure that the villains smoke while the heroes don't); smoking is literally photoshopped out of historical photos.
So civil disobedience is a detriment to society?
You index it to inflation of course.
What's not stated in the article, re: "Why we use Om", is that much of Om's adoption was because of its high-profile creator and all the status/momentum that brings along.

But I think it's approaching a consensus already within the CLJS community that, on API alone, reagent is the React interface you want.

It's extremely elegant and performant; probably the best frontend library I've ever used in close to a decade of web development.
How much does it cost to go to GDC?
> It seems like a tablet with a cellular radio could arguably fit that definition as well.

Strongly disagree, because:

> (1) (A) "Smartphone" means a cellular radio telephone or other mobile voice communications handset device...

and additionally:

> B) A "smartphone" does not include a radio cellular telephone commonly referred to as a "feature" or "messaging" telephone, a laptop, a tablet device, ...

Not only are tablets specifically excluded in the definition, "mobile voice communications handset device" would likely exclude them from the definition all by itself.
