I don’t see the issue with Nvidia buying ARM. If authorities are so concerned they can attach conditions to the sale. A big one would be that existing licensees are guaranteed their current agreements would continue.

The entitlement issues these companies have are truly impressive. Here’s another example: Does anyone remember when Apple first got into subscriptions for things like magazines and newspapers? The publishers wanted Apple to forward the users info…

I hold both stocks so I’m happy.

iFixit can’t be happy. They sell all-in-one repair kits for all sorts of common repairs (like batteries). When do we see the antitrust case against Apple for harming competitors like iFixit by entering their market?

I love pointing out that CAF only has a small number of companies who’ve signed up (I think less than 60). Out of the hundreds of thousands of developers, that’s pathetic. Also laughing that I still get a rise out of Sweeney on Twitter. He’s stoppe…

The funny thing is this provides no benefit to Epic. They’re still not allowed in The App Store due to intentional breach of contract.
