  • Epic Games vs Apple -- The continuing App Store saga

    The reason Epic can make so much money, is that Apple, Google, Microsoft and Sony have put a lot of R&D and marketing into iOS, Android, Xbox and Playstation. If Epic wants to sell direct to the consumer, they should make their own hardware. They want to leech off Apple and Google, but are willing to pay 30% to Microsoft and Sony (for now). 

    The shoplifting analogy that Apple uses isn't very good. It is more like Epic setting up shop and selling things inside an Apple Store without paying any rent; Epic cries in the store that they made the products they are selling not Apple, so Apple should let them stay there for free. 
    Exactly. They want to put their own shelf in Walmart while paying zilch. By their logic any storefront is a monopoly. Why don’t Epic lead the way and let Steam sell games on the Epic Store 👍

  • Edward Snowden calls Apple CSAM plans 'disaster-in-the-making'

    I don’t see how Apple’s system invades on privacy. It’s a system like nothing else. Unless you store a collection of known CSAM on iCloud your photos are just hashes to compare. The system doesn’t even do image recognition to tell what’s on the image.
