This "pro" version is different than the one they offer on their site. Pro Font Awesome VS Pro Fort Awesome. Fort Awesome already includes many of the features in Font Awesome 5.

What this article does not explain is who is entitled to the money. It just says those who have jumped through hoops. I owned dell stock and it was sold without my consent, am I also entitled to the increased amount?

Does this have any chance in being put into electronics in the next year?

This was not the worst campaign ever. They were posting updates often. They were communicating with their backers. Granted it ran over like many other campaigns. But they posted often about updates and what was happening.
Touchtime is much worse than this. Though some of the backers did get a watch but not all of them. They did not stay in contact with the backers. Contacting them about getting your device is impossible.

I would rate big companies i.e. Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft and startups all at tier two places of work, when you take social and pressures of work into consideration. Good companies to work for are any that 1) do something you are interested in. 2) Don't require you to work longer than 40 hours a week.
The problem I see is big companies, and startups is the amount time they require their employees to work, which is normally over 40 hours and can be upwards of 60 hours average per week.
Paying 100k at 40 hours a week is $48 an hour.
Paying 100k at 60 hours a week is $32 an hour.
I work with undergrads always tell my best students to avoid Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Google companies. Longer hours means more stress. Big companies get employees to work longer by offering food and games at work. I tell them find a company that does cool stuff and only asks for 40 hours a week. I tell them I know working for interesting research companies getting paid $80k and working ~30 hours a week. Which is getting paid more per hour than the person working at a company earning 100k and doing 60 hours per week.
I checked up and Google isn't too bad from what I can see online. Some say 40[1] Others say 50-60 [2] Places like Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft are worse places to work.

I think the LDS church leaders helped this along. They have a lot of people around the world logging on to LDS.org to stream church videos.

Microsoft should have done this much earlier. Releasing the ROM will allow who ever wants to have an operating system different than Android. They can make profit from their own "marketplace"

Update: Thanks for down voting because I am the most unlucky person with crappy crappy computers.
Taxes are worse for Americans as you have to pay both US and CAD taxes if you make over $100k.
