1. Apple is worth $2.44 trillion USD; pay off the whole $240 billion USD debt owed by the Philippines.
2. Establish Apple HQ facilities in the Philippines and employ the vast majority of the country's talented software engineers there.
3. Take advantage of the cheap labour, low costs, and high standard of living to ride the wave of unending profit.
This is how you turn things around and switch the lightbulb.
On the height of their popularity, they started naming their products appending either "devil" and "demon" to their products.
Of course, most people who are conservatives back then like parents, aunts, 99% of the their users, basically other than "you" the power users didn't like the new naming.
So they move-on to Yahoo Messenger and never looked back.
Moral: Don't name your popular product like how Mirabilis ICQ does it back in the late 90s.
And make it a race prize competition similar to Google Lunar X Prize Race.
In 2011, I found a job of my dreams, but it ended in 2012, since then I began to took jobs that I'm not comfortable and I do not like just to provide for my family, it was hard and sad, and it lasted from 2012 to 2016. Now I'm happy I have a new job that I'm very comfortable with.
Depression is not new to me, I've experienced it since childhood, teenage period and throughout college. There's no OFF switch for it, the only way to turn it off is build strength and endurance for it, sooner or later it it will attack again, but it would be too weak to affect you.

memorization != understanding, I hope Google should give chance to the latter being the "time-tested proven" engineers which some can't answer "computer science trivia" because most of them don't spend time memorizing theories, they spend their time building and applying what they learned.

Microsoft first implemented this in early 2000s, I remember Microsoft Passport marketing the single sign-on feature, it did not catch up.
I too was a man full of rejection:
1. I was kicked as a co-founder of a successful startup. 2. Upon finding a full-time job, a year later I was fired and have a lawyer to write demand letters for me which I never comply. 3. Found another job to work remotely that require me to have a Macbook Pro, but being financially short I converted my only desktop to a hackintosh. Then months later they send somebody at my house and upon discovery that I don't have a Macbook Pro I was fired. 4. Found another job, months later I was being shouted to leave the office and was fired. 5. Found another job, I was really happy I was into mobile app development, and 2 weeks away from release and shipping of the app, I was fired and the app didn't get shipped.
Right now I'm hoping to get into developing my own product, only if I have the strength to move on, and this post gives me a little bit of hope, I say 'Good luck, bad luck, who knows?'
- Do not ask for a .doc Microsoft Word document resume
Because we might be scrambling and downloading LibreOffice and converting our .latex resume to .doc, if you want to get our attention, ask for TXT, PDF or LaTeX format.
Just saying.
Well, Jesus is a carpenter, Peter was a fisherman, Bill Gates is an economist, Steve Jobs is a marketing guy. See the pattern here?
