So.... What is the name of your company, and which games have you made? I'm always interested in good, ad-free entertainment for the little ones. Especially with a long flight coming up this weekend.



your marketing completely neglects your selling point, which is ethical games that won't scam the kid. You have to make a story out of that, and revolve your entire company around it. Otherwise you're not differentiating from the others.

Basically make the "organic fair-trade ethical cage-free" of apps.


>[You] personally know thousands of others that fit in the exact same category.

"personally know thousands". Let that sink in.


I guess I should clarify what I mean by that;

I do not physically interact with the people in question on a regular basis in meatspace, but the mindset is basically the bedrock of near every anarcho capitalist focused community in existence, and within this sphere I have regularly observed at least that many frequent participants on discussions.

So the idea that the position held is useful in identifying who that person might actually be based on its rarity is not very plausible. Unless all those people are actually just sock puppets I suppose?


Robin Dunbar disagrees with this huge monkeysphere


Haven't the street view cars been down under yet?


I do that too (except it usually says kr/l or kr/kg here.). Sometimes I end up buying more than I need, though, because the unit price for bigger packets are that much lower. Doesn't mean that the packet will last me any longer, specially if it's chips, chocolate or fizzy drinks.


>Carriers have absolute control over the consumer sales channels

In the US. But here, on the other side of the pound, there's hardly any carrier specific additions or subtractions to/from android, just the manufacturers. The big EU markets have some (like Germany, France, UK), but unlocked phones are still always available, and many customers opt for those.

I think you're right about the situation when talking about North America, though.

Personally I've been burned by both HTC and LG on slow or no updates, so I will never by an Android phone that's not a nexus device again.

Edit: Unlocked and unbranded nexus device.


Really? I would be very interested in reading more about this. Got any sources? (Preferably in English or Norwegian ;) )
