Judging from the other posts here, Apple has sound reasons for doing what it does, nevertheless this article did make me think: When we throw away a product because it no longer works (any product really) nearly every component is still working - so…

Hi, tht said: Apple argues it is a finder's fee or a facilitator's fee. The platform enables commerce of digital items, where without the platform, the digital good and commerce can't exist. This doesn't convince me because of the examples…

thedba said: As for the alert where Apple directs the customer to alternate payment methods via the DEV's website, that's old news. It was an issue and I think one of devs was Netflix at the time, where they wanted to put a message with a hyper…

thedba said: Take a look at Reply #10 from "yours truly" as to why Apple may take a cut of 15% or 30% from in app purchases or subscriptions. Could that "overhead" be lower? A separate debate I guess. Thanks, sorry, yes you've answered …

As someone with a long experience of using the Mac platform, I believe you should be able to download what you want, from where you want, onto a device that you own yourself. So that's the principle, and I'm glad to see that's becoming law. In gener…

Thanks Marvin! >They've removed the Mac Pro category from all the European stores because of new safety rules that came into effect early this month. There will be a replacement >of some kind but not for another 4-6 months.

Why doesn't the UK online Apple Store sell Mac Pro's any more? Is there going to be a replacement?

Will you be able to use it as a computer monitor?
