I heard this question first when it was posed to us in class by a Professor at the Univ of California, Berkeley... Ever since, it has evoked mixed reactions in me... my natural proclivity leans towards "becoming rich is not a priority"... but during the course of life, I have come to realize that those who have the riches tend to write the "rules" at every level of society... and so in retrospect, I keep asking myself, what is smart about handicapping myself in the golf of life by not prioritizing riches?!

Just wanted to vouch that I was one such emailer last year... and I did indeed get a reply. Thanks again and may God bless you!

the worst is when the "About Us", "Company", "Help", "Contact Us" page links are at the "bottom" and you want to click on them... momentarily appearing and disappearing...

As a small software agency owner based in the USA, i too experience the same dread as everdev... perpetual fear that i am failing to comply with some arcane rule/law especially at the city and state govt levels...

I had a couple of employees working for me that used to do this... for more than three years they used to do the bare minimum (1-2 hours/day at most) ... I used to try to motivate/nudge them to at least automate parts of the work they were doing so that we could make a product (SaaS) offering out of it and provide that to additional clients and grow the business (of which all of us would benefit with generous profit sharing)... being a small business owner, i couldn't risk losing them... so I carried a fair amount of their load... Finding balanced people involves lot of luck as well!

In the 1 day i have had it, my observation is that battery seems to be an issue... as an anecdote: at 90% charge, it shows the following "3h 51m 9s on battery". And in the breakdown allocation, it shows "Screen" as taking 61% of the total. [This is with just the default settings the phone came with.]
