You're the closest to the truth. It's actually a booster propeller for when the plane needs to go super sonic.

A lot of focus and money spent on renewables that could have been spent elsewhere, like on infrastructure or welfare. Wind and solar farms take up a lot of space that could be used for other things like nature. I'm not saying renewables are bad, but it's always a compromise on where to spend resources.

Does Google do that? Apple absolutely does it, but has Google ever done that?

Unless the title says so, this is news to me.

I got a mail about that from my union recently... I think they had some talks about it.

My university mainly ran Solaris, pretty much everything also ran on Linux. In the rare case where Windows was required a remote desktop was available.

My university probably isn't your university though, so answers may not be worth much...

They probably didn't attend Wharton School of Business.

To me, a Linux user, Apple is more of a jail or a pusher. I don't want to use it because of lock in. Oh, you have an iPod? It's much better with a Mac. An iPhone? All your friends should also have it, and now we have this special app you can only use properly with other apple users.

No thanks.

I agree. If I want a kind of app, not knowing it by name, it's nigh impossible to find anything useful.

But then, we're talking about Google, who is using their video platform to spam the world with ads for games that don't exist, saying that they are spamming the world with ads for games that don't exist (but not this one (yes, also this one)), for Google's own platform. They are not trustworthy on what to get!
