if you are complaining about $25 dollars then you have more serious issues. That money is nothing. If you cannot afford the 25 dollards how on earth do you pay for internet each month or for anything else for that matter? You really need to find something worthwile to complaing about.

Maybe that's where the theorized impression that Google prefers large firms could come from. I always assumed the charge was intended to prevent people/ companies from getting an account, spamming to make a little money, but losing the account in the process, and then getting another account and repeating the process. At least spammers have to pay over and over this way and obtain different financial details each time. If you are honest, but have trouble affording it, you only need to earn enough money once. Too bad the amount can't be based on a person's income, like speeding tickets and other punishments are in some places, in order to not unduly burden people with less money. I fired off some PayPal money in case it can help in this case, but that would be more systematic. Maybe some sort of program where students or schools can get accounts for free would be more practical. That would cover students who don't have jobs bringing money in constantly at least. I brought up teaching an Android class to a professor of mine once and she immediately asked if they'd have to buy a labs worth of phones in order to do it right. So cost does come up quite quickly when deciding to teach Android or not. Gee, can you tell I'm out of technical posts to read over on the developers group?

For every practical math oriented person I find out commits suicide, thats 50 phones i'll port droid on to. That didn't make any sense to me. Was that due to a lack of English or language skills, or was that a phishing attempt via automated gibberish-generator?
