Peanuts. Mere peanuts with the kind of volume we're talking about. Even if Apple had a thousand engineers each earning a million dollars a year, (assumptions that are too generous by several hundred percent) the total cost to each iPhone sold would be less than 4 dollars.
Good point. You got me. I don't know why I even bothered pretending it has anything to do with anything.
Cows are finished on corn for about 3 months because it makes the meat taste better. Fully grass fed beef has a slightly different taste that many people do not like. I prefer the natural beef as the corn is most likely GMO and I try to stay away from that.
"Corn or worse," as I said. Expired Hostess baked goods, wrapper and all, stale candy, you name it , if it's cheap, has calories, and will fatten the cows, the finishing lots will feed it to them.
"Finishing" is all about adding fat and reducing muscle tone (toughness.)
I agree, buying meat that's raised with a care seems a good choice to me.
small? Facebook isn't small. They will probably have $25 billion in revenue by 2016. Google had $66 billion in 2014.
Facebook is not small and is growing extremely fast.
At about 1/3 the revenue of Google, it is indeed relatively small. When/if it gets up to $50 billion in revenue do you seriously think it will still have a 50% growth rate? Or will it be different from every other company and have unsustainable growth because you love FaceBook so much? You don't think the shine will ever wear off for advertisers and users alike as they begin to see all the shite FaceBook is doing with their data? Etc.
Facebook/Twitter and other social network companies are destroying Google in mobile advertising. But go ahead and ignore the facts and load up on Google shares.
I'd expect that to change, Goog is fighting back.
About a month ago I received an email from them pointing out the errors in SEO for some of the sites I admin. The errors all related to mobile sites spawned from the desktop sites.
No biggie to sort out, just needed to add meta data on the mobile pages.
