The issue is that the bottleneck is not coming up with the solution - but actually getting the political capital to pass it.

But big businesses have been created so it's not entirely true.

Do you have any good examples where you think innovation has been stifled on the play store? (Apple's app store aside)

I never really thought about it, but could online shopping + delivery actually be much more environmentally friendly? i.e rather than having everyone drive do to their own shopping.

This is with the assumption that a single delivery truck can hit multiple customers on their route, and in the context of more rural\suburban areas.

I do wonder whether there should be laws limiting acceleration as there are speed limits.

I play regularly, usually the experience is pretty flawless, there is the occasional stutter once in while and\or degradation of graphics.

When it works well (and it usually does for me) I think most non-pro players won't notice any gameplay impacting latency.

The biggest issue right now with the service is lack of games.

I wonder how the world would've looked like if companies with valuation greater than 100 billion (adjusted to inflation) just wouldn't be allowed to purchase and\or merge with other companies.

We should all be working only 3\4 days of the week.

When you think of it, it's crazy how we just succumb to the notion that we have to work at least 5 days a week (yay magic numbers) just so we can please our corporate overlords.
