    Because I did not make the assertion. Generally, those who make assertions can be asked to support them.



    His remarks indicated that the two situations could be distinguished. I asked how he would go about doing it.

    They are distinguished because none of the circumstances are similar. If you need a history lesson on Microsoft (and Apple) to see why that's the case, why don't you Google it, you love Google.



    The apt analogy here is the trojan horse analogy I posted on today's thread. The idea that you ought to have to allow competitors into your business to spy on you is ridiculous. To use everyone's favorite Coke/Pepsi analogy, that would be like making Coke allow Pepsi to affix tracking tags to Coke cans so Pepsi can see when and where and to whom Coke is selling Coke. In this case, Coke is actually even allowing Pepsi to print ads on the cans, but Pepsi isn't satisfied with that.

    There can be no doubt that iOS is a computer operating system of which Apple has 100% market share. That market share is used to limit competition in Apps and Advertising to the detriment of their competitors and at the expense of consumers/advertisers who pay in the form of decreased competition reflecting less innovation and/or higher prices.



    Considering they are being looked at from several angles, I am surprised they would open another front.



    Particularly at a time when the compare/contrast with other platforms makes them look really bad. (AT&T just launched an Android phone tied to Yahoo)







    It only took 24 posts to have someone with sensibility and logic post something.



    I didn't want to believe that people could be this blinded by a name/company, yet I've seen it here.



    This is obviously anti-competitive behaviour. Apple (and it's ad program) will take usage statistics from consumers, and use that data to make their product better. They've told Google that they can't do this anymore, which by definition is anti-competitive.



    For you people who want to put on the blinders, you should get an ethos, or take a course on indoctrination.

    Do you argue, or just post semantics. He proved his point, and you say "no it isn't." How is that in any way proving your point.



    You need to get a mirror, instead of that opaque Apple logo you look into that you call a mirror.

    They've done no such thing - Google is still able to do this on their own platform, which going by their I/O conference is killing the iPhone in every regard... not to mention the rest of the 70% of the mobile application market that is not on the Apple platform.



    Apple don't have a monopoly on the mobile applications market:

    Apple grabbed nearly one third of the $4.2 billion spent on mobile applications in 2009, according to figures from Gartner, a US technology research firm.

    "Having a monopoly" isn't a central question.
