  1. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

    I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

    It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

    The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

    HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

    I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

    BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

    It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

  3. Q is for Queen Cake. (I have no idea what a queen cake is.)

    I want the R2-D2 body back….& the names. They were fun. They were named after 'sweets & treats'.

  4. The biggest mistake? Green head. Black letters. D O E S N O T W O R K. And the whole point of this rebrand was 'everything finally coming together'. Erm, no. It doesn't.

  5. What a waste of developers time and brain power. A change for change's sake. A bunch of managers, analysts and programmers going the process of justifying their own existence. I spent 30 years in the IT industry and I saw this time and time again.

    All those delicious names except for Android 1.0 and 10.

  24. I love change, however, I'm honestly just sad about no more dessert names. 😭 With Android here on out, maybe they could work with more OEMs on getting Android versions released quicker.

  25. If Google are going too corporate, and they do appear to have joined the evil, then expect competitors and new operating systems that will eventually replace them all.

  33. They could just be like MS and just say the Android 10 is the 'last' version. Or, be like Apple and call it Android X for the next 2 decades. 😂
