Despite the explosive growth of Android, application developers have voiced their share of complaints about the platform. Eric Chu, group manager of Android, tried to address some of those concerns today while speaking to an audience of developers at the Inside Social Apps InFocus conference in San Francisco.
Most specifically, he talked about the rejection of “mobile arcade application” Kongregate from the Google Android Marketplace.
“It’s clear within our terms of services that you should not distribute a competing marketplace or store,” Chu said. Applications that sell physical products or virtual goods are fine, but competing app stores are not. And Kongregate, in Google’s eyes, was clearly an app store. (I’m pretty sure Chu wasn’t commenting on the fact that Kongregate was just added to the Marketplace again. With the new app, in an attempt to get around Google’s restriction, games aren’t downloaded onto the phone.)
That seems like an interesting statement coming from Google, which is constantly touting its openness, especially when comparing Android to Apple’s App Store. But Chu said it’s important to distinguish between Android as a platform, which is totally open, and Google’s Android Marketplace, which Google needs to control more tightly, so that apps deliver a good user experience across multiple devices. If developers don’t like the Marketplace’s restrictions, that’s why there are a number of other Android app stores.
“Competition is always good,” Chu said.
Another big topic during the panel was the Marketplace’s lack of support for in-app payments, which has been cited as one of the reasons that Android app developers aren’t making as much money as their counterparts on the iPhone. Chu said his team is working hard to add that feature as soon as possible. In the meantime, he said Google doesn’t want developers using other in-app payments options in the Marketplace — because again, it wants to protect that user experience.

After reaching a high of $112.375 – the highest for a closest-to-expiration contract since CME launched cattle futures in 1964 – February live cattle futures fell today to the equivalent of $108.80 per hundred points. The price hit a previous record of $107.05 in September 2008 during the commodity bubble that sent crude oil up to $150 a barrel. Drovers CattleNetwork writes,
CME Group traders such as Jim Sauter say cattle prices have climbed above levels justified by current supply and demand patterns. While the total U.S. cattle inventory is near the lowest on record, beef production actually increased last year because of heavier animals, Sauter noted.
Additionally, growing concern over food inflation has propelled a flood of speculator money into grain and livestock futures, setting markets up for a repeat of 2008, when prices surged before tumbling sharply, Sauter said…
As in 2008, hedge funds and other speculators were heavy buyers in grain and livestock futures over the past year. Swap dealers and managed money, the two largest categories of speculators tracked by regulators, held 34 long positions for every one short position in CME feeder cattle futures last week.
In another gauge of investor bullishness, the speculator net-long position in feeder cattle futures and options totaled 18,622 contracts for the week ended Jan. 11, according to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. That was the largest net-long position in feeder cattle since at least June 2006, when the CFTC began tracking the data, according to Bloomberg News.
Finally, this really sums up what is happening across almost all commodity markets,
“This is bizarro world,” Stanley said yesterday. Cattle futures are “probably $4 to $5 overpriced. We’re a house of cards here.”
The spike in agricultural prices is causing food riots and now even toppling governments. We expected regulators to crack down hard on the specs, but Daniel Dicker over at TheStreet.com writes,
In my upcoming book, Oil’s Endless Bid, due out from John Wiley & Sons in March, I argue that financial influences from investors and traders and the massive growth of derivatives markets have been the single most important factor for oil’s high and unreliable price, far outstripping fundamental arguments of emerging market growth, peak oil or any other supply constraints or a devaluing dollar.
Putting some controls on at least some of these speculative influences was supposed to be one of the goals of Dodd-Frank, but the actual rule-making to put teeth behind the legislation has been left to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Since it began tackling this massive job in July 2010, the CFTC has literally been buried by the pushback from industry lobbyists, hired-gun lawyers, derivatives broker/dealers and virtually every industrial corporation with a trading desk that depends even marginally on derivatives activity to protect or augment profits.
Wow! You think the Tea Party was a political force in the last elections? If the public gets whiff and internalizes what Dicker argues here as they pay ever higher prices for their steak and hamburger, and spend $100 for a tank of gas, the Administration and Congress better start thinking Tunisia! Long political risk!

Given that some economists still debate the root causes of the Great Depression, little wonder that a multitude of competing stories still vies for affirmation as explanation for the financial crisis of 2008.

benchcraft company portland or This free site gives you many tools you can use to make a profitable web page. The name of this glorious site is Squidoo, and you can use it for affiliate marketing and just about anything else. The site has a lot of potential to your online business if you use it correctly.
The Benefits
It is incredibly easy to start setting up custom web pages once you open a free account with Squidoo. There is no limit on how many pages you can create and it is almost like having a bunch of mini-websites. The sky's the limit for what you do with this site and it all comes down to your strategy and time commitment.
For affiliate marketing, the site presents an opportunity for those to have a high search ranking in order to make sales to receive a commission.
You can customize your "Lenses" each with a unique appearance by using the modules offered to you by Squidoo. There are modules that can help you earn money such as the Amazon, AdSense, and eBay modules, plus many more. You have a lot of freedom in creating your Lens, and it is important to take advantage of the other modules offered because they can help make your site more attractive to visitors.
Squidoo Tips and Tricks1. Note that you will need to put effort into creating your Lenses. You cannot just simply rush through making the page if you want to get visitors. When I first started using Squidoo, I had no visitors in my first month because I did not put effort into making a good page. You will need to pat attention to SEO and treat your page like a normal website. And remember, it helps to update your Lens like a normal blog because the search engines like fresh content. You do not need to go crazy about making updates, but if you have the time, you should post new content at least once a month.
2. A new properly done lens can be indexed by Google quickly if you do everything correctly. Google likes Squidoo so it is more likely you will be found than if you posted your content onto your own website.
3. Squidoo offers Amazon and eBay products to promote, but if you want more options use, or if you haven't already, join ClickBank or Commission Junction where you can find more products to make money with.
4. Feel free to experiment with different products. You never know which one will break through.
You can set up your payments to go directly into a PayPal account or your savings, and Squidoo has a low payment threshold which I believe is $5. Your commission from advertising, affiliate links, and other sales will all collect in one account for your convenience.
When you first begin your Squidoo adventures, start out with topics that you are passionate about and over time you can start to branch out into other topics. It will be easier for you to write a Lens if you are familiar with the topic and people will see that you know what you are talking about.
