Comment on Google paid Samsung $8 billion to be the default search engine, app store and voice assistant

  In terms of my data on the market, yes. But in terms of Samsung’s user numbers divided by 8 billion I’m worth about $6. Based on what they paid Apple, each of their users is worth about $15. I just need to get my invoice on the right desk.

    Nah just invoice for printer ink, and there is a good chance someone pays it.

      So, would that even be a crime as long as you sent them the ink with a 10000% markup?

        Depends on how contract savvy you are… if you word it as a service contract where acceptance is payment, you can sometimes get away with not sending them anything.

        But generally yes, that’s what you would do. Often times it’s ink for a discontinued machine that nobody uses before. The ink itself is probably recalled.

        That’s impressive. Usually the target organizations with a lot of autonomy, but poor payment controls. Like school districts… the schools usually have the autonomy to enter into their own small contracts, but a central office has no idea what invoices are legitimate without calling every school for each invoice.
