    It's such an odd ruling.  I hope Apple still has options to fight this ruling.  It makes zero sense.  It's Apple's hardware, software, and ecosystem.  I don't see how the Dutch can say that Apple is abusing its dominance?  If you the developer want access to Apple's ecosystem (i.e. Customers) that Apple puts in tons of resources into obtaining, and keeping current users loyal, then you the whiny developer has to play by the house rules.

    I'm all about Apple playing within the confines of a country's rules.  This one through, I do hope that Apple just shuts/slams the door on them.
    It is not odd. Socialists like free lunch. 
    Incorrect. Socialism is a type of policy, of which you very much enjoy the fruits of its labor here in the democratic republic of the US -- from labor policies, to worker benefits, to public services, fire, police, parks, streets, water purification, etc etc. You've only been brainwashed into believing socialistic policies are some sort of boogeyman, when the reality is it's the ultra wealthy who do not like these policies because they are forced to contribute via tax dollars into benefits for the working class and the common good st the expense of added profit. Nice job! Be mad at things that you utilize and benefit you! lol

    Don’t be silly. waveparticle is no more a citizen of the USA than I am.  They’re just a trouble stirrer, planted to spread discord.

    According to the source, that's not true.  And, it seems that you are the trouble stirrer spreading discord.

    But I find it interesting that you ignored a well thought out, well written post and instead spewed untrue personal attacks completely unrelated to the post you responded to.
    ...  It says a lot about where you're coming from and your motivation.

    I did not say boogeyman. You put the word into my mouth. 
    According to Wikipedia "
    An early distinction between communism and socialism was that the latter aimed to only socialise production while the former aimed to socialise both production and consumption (in the form of free access to final goods)." This is exactly what I said. 

    In US, capitalism is inscribed into the Constitution. It 
    guarantees personal freedom and happiness. It becomes very difficulty for socialist to give free lunch by robbing the production of hard working people. But they keep trying.

    The America I grew up in was full of confidence and optimism.
    Today's America seems to be dominated by fear and hate.
