Applications can execute many menial tasks with ease. But, this not the only reason which makes such applications attractive. There are multiple apps which are useful for different purposes. Each designed with a function to achieve the desired outcome.
Due to this various Node, JS application development companies are in demand now There are dedicated applications which aid communication like Whats app messenger, Skype, snap chat etc. On the other hand, there are travel apps like TripAdvisor which act as a travel guide. There are a host of different apps like financial applications, information and news apps, an app which supports online streaming videos and many more. Why do users still look for new apps and upgrades to existing ones?
What spurs consumer expectation and user behavior to consistently seek out better and improved mobile applications? New applications seem more attractive. Launched with a new interface and improved functionalities can be enticing enough.
But is this the only reason? Or does user popularity and notoriety also affect app downloads? Can user recommendations or in-app offers be the reason behind users installing mobile apps?
Let us explore the different motivations. The above factors significantly inspire user behavior. The app response and downloads are affected a lot by each of these aspects. If an app developer focuses on the needs of the audience and builds an app which offers innovative solutions, then it is bound to have a good number of downloads. If you live alone then no one can give you an alibi for the times when you are asleep and you have no proof you were sleeping and not breaking into jewelry stores in the middle of the night.
This is why our courts are built on innocent until proven guilty. If someone uses your IP address to do something illegal, it's not your job to prove it wasn't you. It's the prosecutors job to prove that it was you and not someone else. Showing an IP trace is the same as saying you were in the neighborhood, even on a hard wired network.
It doesn't prove guilt, it simply makes you a suspect. Darrel , 21 Mar am. They must prove you guilty, not the converse. In addition, the argument is just as the author states.
If you can be seen as the suspect, why not the phone company that transferred teh data? Why not the film company that captured the kiddie porn? All the RIAA has to do is prove "reasonable likelyhood. Bryan , 21 Mar am.
Did you sleep through any government classes you had in school??? The burden of proof is always on the accuser. Simple, if they have your IP address, they also need to provide your MAC address for the hardware which was connected to your wireless access point. Every network device has a unique MAC address, and if someone connects to your wireless access point it will not match the MAC addresses for the machines in your house. Hence, it was not one of your machines.
Andrew Brown , 21 Mar am. Anonymous , 21 Mar am. Ben , 21 Mar pm. What about innocent until proven guilty? Sure it was downloaded by your IP, but that does not prove that you did it.
A hacker could have hacked into your computer and then made it download a movie. As for the "You should have known better" idea, what if you believe in open wireless networks because they give free internet to people when they need it.
I dont think it is a valid argument. Md , 21 Mar pm. If the end user has to enable encryption on their PC to connect to the wireless access point, they may not take the time to figure it out even if instructions are provided , and take the equipment back saying it's broken or not working as expected.
It comes back to society catering to the unwashed masses. If it doesn't work out of the box, then it must be broken, and I'll get the equipment from a different vendor. I'm saying this not just as speculation, but as exact examples of behavior I've seen at Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. Anonymous Coward , 21 Mar pm.
In the United States, at least, the burden of proof is on the accuser, not the defendant, since you are innocent until proven guilty. As far as criminal charges, it's up to RIAA to prove that you did it, you don't have to prove anything.
But RIAA doesn't need to, or want to, send you to jail. They want to sue the pants off of you. The thing is, if you are a legal service provider, you can't be sued. It'd never get to trial. If you're just sharing your home WiFi and your TOS prohibits that- well, in that case, it'll be messy. I wonder if it has to do with anything? Psych , 24 Mar am.
If someone steals my car and knocks someone down, am I liable unless I can prove my car was properly secured? Satan , 4 Apr am. How many people really get a chance to prove that they are not guilty??
What is the public defender there for really, to help prove one's innocence????? You must know this!!! I am sure you are posting from Saudi Arabia or a country similar. If you are in the United States then I sadly understand why I have been crying lately, "Where has my country gone? An open connection is definately 'reasonable doubt'. Your connection could have been accessed by anyone. Enough said. You don't have to prove that it wasn't you.
They have to prove nobody accessed your wide open connection, and you and only you were using the connection. A prosecution would almost be impossible unless actual illegal content was found on your computer. I pray we never live under rule where the accused have an obligation to prove their innocence.
Anonymous Coward , 12 Feb am. In criminal law it is not up to you to prove you are innocent. The must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you are guilty. An open network provides doubt. Although there are many robust legal defenses, organizations such as the RIAA have a couple thousand lobbyists in their pockets and on payroll. These people are actually tasked with either legally altering or illegally blinding the truth of the law. As well as documented accounts of jury tampering and solicitation.
The best thing to do for anyone providing service with their wifi router is to simply add some basic security and logging. The worst thing to do but will save you in the eyes of any tribunal or court is either provide logs voluntarily or notify officials when log something suspicous.
Although I am a proud advocate for the freedom of information I refuse to stick my neck out there for another person to bring down the guillotine I realize that this is a little off question, but if the RIAA were to come after anyone for copyright violations, the easiest way out is just to buy the disks with the material under question, therefore allowing the purchaser fair usage under the law, and then bring a counter suit for harassment.
Suit should be brought in small claims court forcing the RIAA to use expensive lawyers for trivial cases, kind of beating them up with bullcrap. Has the RIAA won any cases yet? Dumbass , 20 Mar pm. I thought people in the U. If I have open Wi-Fi and claim that my connection was stolen for illegal activity, shouldn't it be on the prosecutor's back to actively pursue undeniable proof that it was my machine? Why should I have to come up with proof that I didn't do it?
How are you supposed to prove something like that? Ok well if you still believe your innocent until proven guilty, you haven't been in criminal court before, you are, in fact going to need to prove your innocent before a judge, all that BS about innocence and justice are just fluff, just like the constitution The only people that would get away with this are people with money and good lawyers, most regular people would be screwed.
Ken , 14 Nov am. That's simply not accurate, first of all, a judge doesn't decide your fate! A randomly chosen jury of your peers does, and you have the option of shaping the final jury selection. Its not only people with money to hire good lawyers that are found not guilty! The vast majority of convictions never go to trial, and it's usually because the accused hasn't taken the time to understand the law!
Generally police will get information leading to conviction by talking with the accused and making them feel as though giving them information will somehow help them never. Public Defenders will suggest taking a plea because they have high case loads and don't want to take a case to trial when the accused messed it up so bad that he has no chance of winning.
If ever people would realize that you simply do not answer any questions ever, when accused of anything, we would have half empty jails and prisons! Homer , 20 Mar pm. All I can say for private WiFi is tighten up your security. Make sure you use the standard security protocols for your WiFi network. If someone can "hack" it and then use it illegaly on it, then you'd have a better chance of staying clear from any lawsuites.
Meant "it and then use it illegaly". Are you sure you didn't mean "hack it and then use it illegally "? If you take the time to improve the grammar, you might as well fix the spelling while you're there!
Hassle , 20 Mar pm. I'm not so sure.. Rob Miles -- There are only 10 types of people in the world; those who understand binary and those who don't I see you have a good point, but the fact is that you track thing only so far, router in a LAN tools with a port to the WAN internet if the RIAA trace route you they are going to get your WAN ip address then they will stop look and get your MAC address, then and packet ripper to get the name and info on the hard using that MAC address, once they see the UNIX and I clone on the list they know its a Router and there for knowing thats is most likey a wireless because thats the most sold out there they arent going to bother because its top much hassle.
In the US, you are innocent until proven guilty, although being able to prove your innocence doesn't hurt either! Actually there are only 10 kinds of people who understand binary, those that do and those that don't.
If you are gonna steal quotes from Bash. Re: Re: I'm not so sure.. Most of my music I get from ITunes where I can download the one song I like off the album and then burn my own CD's of the music that is good Rob Miles , 21 Mar pm. I saw the "10 kinds of people" thing 3 or 4 years ago in a mailing list I belonged to at the time from topfive. I don't know who the guy I stole it from stole it from unless he actually was the author , but I've used it as my signature line ever since.
Besides, your version doesn't make any sense. How does that even remotely scan? I can't believe the number of people here who completely miss the whole "innocent until proven guilty" point when it comes to criminal or civil law. You are innocent until "proven" guilty only as long as there is no evidence against you. Once evidence against you is presented, you can sit there and quote "innocent until proven guilty" all you want, but I'm going to start working on proving the evidence isn't sufficient to convict me.
Dear "Hassle", That loud "whooshing" sound you probably heard is this rather old mathematics joke zooming over your head. Judging from your reply, you are not the 1 of the 10 kinds who did understand binary. We apologize to you for the lack of base subscripts, but that would have really given it away! MM , 20 Mar pm. If I leave a box of knives on in front of my lawn, someone takes one without me knowing it and later commits a crime using the knife, is it my fault?
Anonymous Coward , 20 Mar pm. Satan , 21 Mar am. Joe Dirt , 20 Nov pm. You really did not provide enough information. Did you really not know you left it in front of your lawn? If you ask this type of what if question, then it seems like you actually did intend to cause some kind of harm. Did you leave it on the sidewalk in front of your lawn?
Aren't sidewalks public property? Are these butter knives, or are they butterfly knives--which are illegal in my city. If you left something illegal out on public property in front of your own property, I would say that you are about as stupid as your question. Suppose you changed your weapon of choice from knives to grenades, or to vials of anthrax, do you think that the police would think that you are free from liability if someone who has more money than you got injured?
What if that someone happened to make huge donations to your local police? What if you had a criminal record? If you were to act like such a bust, and leave your murder weapon out on your lawn for your nosy neighbors to see, so then you could act like it got "stolen," when inevitably there is some old person who acts as a security camera for your neighborhood watch, then it is your fault that you are so stupid. Nittacci , 21 Mar am. If you leave a box of knives on your front lawn and someone comes by and hurts themselves or someone else, you are certainly partially responsible and will face a lawsuit.
If you leave a weapon out like described presuming that it's not a butter knife and someone is injured by that weapon then you are guilty of "enablement" of the injury. If the injury occurred during a violent crime then you are an accessory to a violent crime. I don't buy the open WiFi defense one bit. If you leave a tool open for anyone to use and someone uses it for illegal purposes then you are liable. On the other hand, if you take appropriate measures to protect your network and someone still breaks in and commits a crime then you should have logs to prove the attack and a MAC address that has not been on your network before the attack.
I watched Kevin Mitnick crack 64 bit web in 32 seconds. Tools like netstat, netstumbler, and many others that assist you in cracking wep and seeing the MAC addresses and IP addresses of every device on the network are freely available for download on the web.
If I were going to hack into your secure network to do something illegal, you can be certain that the mac address that performed the illegal activity would be EXACTLY the same as one on your network.
You would probably end up with a few files that you never had before as well. Maybe even some docs printed on your printer that was on the network People who are out there wardriving are not the Average Joe users who know nothing about what they are doing. Most of the "average users" are going to ride the open free networks.
The wardrivers are the ones with the brains and the tools to do it right Anonymous Coward , 22 Mar pm. Depends where on your front lawn you leave it, whether the box is locked, whether someone has to trespass onto your land to steal the knife, etc.
Landowners are liable for injuries of trespassers normally only when the hazard is known or should be or concealed, or if it is something so extraordinarily dangerous that strict liability should be imposed eg, you are experimenting with landmines in your yard.
You are entitled to have a box of knives on your own private property. If someone takes one out of the box, also known as larceny , while they are on your property without permission, you are not liable for what they do with the stolen knife. Not a redneck , 22 Mar pm. Let's clean up the analogy. Leaving a box of knives on your front porch could be considered a form of negligence on your part. How about this instead… I leave a hammer on my porch and my redneck neighbor bludgeons his brother to death with it during a fight about who drank the last Budweiser.
How am I legally implicated in any way? Marshall , 20 Mar pm. That's intresting. I had actually never heard that people were getting arrested for dumbasses using their WiFi. It makes me want to protect my WiFi, even though I now know I cannot be penalized for it, it would still be quite annoying to have the cops and whoever else come and mess with my stuff. I guess I'll just leave it open for anyone stupid around here to get busted with. Md , 21 Mar am.
This is more proof that people should be required to attend classes and get a certification that they aren't so frelling stupid, so they can put a wireless network up. I know it takes an additional 30 seconds or so to implement even the most rudimentary security, but come on folks. Use some common sense! The arguement of "I didn't know. I don't have time to deal with it. But it is. The US courts have no qualms about protecting stupidity and continuing to permit the unwashed masses from flooding on to the Internet; by allowing these frivilous lawsuits to even go forward, let alone permitting the litigious morons to prevail.
It's time for a change. Actually, multiple court cases have thrown those out. In the US, you can no longer sue for injury sustained during the commision of a crime. I think that in reference to the "Innocent until proven guilty," the nature of the judicial system for criminals mostly is "GUILTY, unless proven innocent if you can afford to hire an attorney who knows what to do.
Matthew , 21 Mar am. Why by robert on Mar 21st, am why not just buy a cd? Because they are overpriced, because I only want 1 song out of 15 on it, and most of all because it pays the RIAA to harrass the public and bend laws and politician's ears.
Michiel , 21 Mar am. Do you have any any how much music is in print versus out of print, never to return to the shelves because it's not "commercially attractive"? Or for that matter, how much excellent music never made it to the shelves in the first place?
There's your answer, and have fun listening to your new Britney Spears CD. Just Another Joe , 21 Mar am. I'll admit this is way off topic, but I hate stupid comments.
That said. Tell the people in Guantanamo bay that! There is no such thing as international law, the US has has vetoed any attempt to make something as organised as this. However, even though US law does not apply to the whole world, the US gov. Extradiction into the US is quite common if someone does something the gov. Don't get me started on the US gov. Foreign people don't hate US freedoms not many left if you pay close attention, I actually pity you , they hate the US interfering with ours.
They are not considered 'prisoners of war' by the US administration, they are not being treated according to the Geneva Conventions, and they have no recourse to international law. They were not from a recognized government and were not in uniform. By the Geneva Convention standard they could be shot upon capture. But you are right US Laws do not apply to them. Its a shame that only human beings live in the US. Once you understand that comment you might be able to grasp why some countries are so pissed.

Are you downloading pornography or a warez cracked program? Or are you downloading an add-on to help improve your Mozilla Firefox experience? There's a much greater chance that the pornography and warez software is going to contain a virus hidden in the download. What's the file? That's your first clue. If it is illegal or suspicious looking, it's probably dangerous.
Look over the site. It may seem superficial, but if you're downloading a file from a very basic site there's a higher chance that the site will have a virus hidden in its downloadable files than from a site that looks like it's been made from years of dedicated web designers. Consider who you are downloading the file from. Think about it logically, if you're downloading something from Microsoft, it's not likely that you're downloading a virus.
What's the context? That's the key. Are there other people that have downloaded the file? So I wanted to jump right in and show you the number of apps available for download on the Google Play Store. We actually saw a drop in app availability after mid Although the number of apps have been steadily rising ever since. The Google Play Store is highly competitive. Based on the data over the past two years, the trend line should continuing rising for the foreseeable future.
As we already saw, Google Play Store downloads are still rising, even though the number of apps available for download had dropped a bit during that same period. The Apple App Store app availability numbers are rising each year, but the download growth rate is a lower percentage compared to the Google Play Store.
You can measure the success of an app category based on penetration. According to Statista, these are the app categories with the highest penetration rate among Android users. Some of these categories need to be taken with a grain of salt.
For example, look at the top categories on the list. Those apps such as communication apps likely come pre-loaded on all Android devices. But aside from that, this list is a good indication of what types of apps Android users have downloaded apps like WhatsApp, Snapchat, Netflix, TikTok, Spotify, and Tinder. The average smartphone user spends 3 hours and 10 minutes each day using their device.
The average person uses 9 mobile apps per day and 30 apps per month. What does this mean? People are downloading apps and not using them. As you just learned, app usage is not guaranteed after a download. Some of you might be aware of this if your app has already been brought to market. But how do you know if this is happening to you?
The best way to measure this is with retention and churn. Basically, you need to track these metrics. Give users a reason to keep coming back and using your app down the road. No app is perfect. Even the top apps have bugs now and then. Come up with updates and new versions of your app to improve the performance and user experience. We already saw the data to back that claim. If you look at this list, it makes sense. All of the top apps are used for different purposes and could be used on a daily basis.
There is nothing wrong with shooting for the stars. You can still build a mobile commerce app for your business and have plenty of success. But it would be an uphill battle, to say the least, if you wanted your app to be the next Amazon.
Can you build an app with GPS map services? But will it surpass Google Maps? Probably not. Even with a smaller mobile app market share, Apple users still spend more money. But Apple users still dominate app spending, at nearly double the rate of Android users. Technology usage varies by generation. Mobile app usage is no exception.
