Yes if you are Google and you keep track of all of these things you can quite accurately translate those metrics into potential sales.
Especially when you can build Plus Ones profiles for every phone every made then correlate that to actual sales figures. It's not 100% accurate but it's certainly accurate enough not to go out of stock in 1 hour.
Its Google entire business model last time I checked.
There are 8600 likes on google+ for the Nexus 4.
If you are very generous you could say that would translate to 860,000 purchases.
No decent smartphone manufacture plans for sales of less than 1 million units of its flagship product.
The fact that the nexus 4 sold out in every country it was sold within one hour would only demonstrate complete operational incompetence on every level to be that far off the mark.
It's a stunt and I don't like it when companies treat people like retards.
This is all a setup and im pissed because I wanted one.
The first design rule would be not to have the wallet file on the same server as whichever stack was used.
Secondly the client facing stack can not interact with the server holding the wallet file directly. It would have to go through a third server which would run sanity checks on any transaction requests.
I don't think bitcoin related sites have less security than other sites that claim to be secure, it just that they are such a high value target and attract the attention of nearly all criminal hackers.
Also nearly all of the thefts that occurred where a result of a compromised email account which eventually led to root level access of the server through a virtual server console. Not as a result of bad programming that led to an exploit.
