The ebook industry needs to join the 21st century and develop definition/resolution standards for graphically oriented products. I stopped buying graphically oriented ebooks because image resolution was totally random. It's like going to shopping we…

The irony here is that the CMA is acknowledging that "competition" doesn't just come from alternate services but also from other artists. That acknowledgment is typically totally missing from all of the controversy over app stores. You don't see the…

This sounds like a lame attempt at propping up the sale price.

I've said it multiple times in the past when posting to articles that claimed Alexa was "beating" Siri: Amazon's intentions with Alexa were to get customers to increase their impulse purchasing from Amazon, not to answer random questions better. And…

I don't find it believable. Regardless of what was happening with his foot/gas pedal he still had a working steering wheel and emergency brake. IMO, someone in a panic would be more likely to attempt a hard turn away from the stores and flip the veh…

As always, you could put a monkey in front of three buttons that were labelled 'Layoffs', 'Benefit Cuts' and 'Workload Increase' and they could produce the same results as human beings paid millions of dollars to be CEO. Musk is just showing that he…

jdw said: True, but that can be used as an excuse for any US company to halt all domestic US operations, export its "rocket science," and seek a cheaper source of labor overseas. America badly needs domestic US production to increase. 100% …

AniMill said: I thought the ad business was cratering on all digital platforms. I rarely notice ads on Apple News and I don’t use the App Store much. Do others see these gambling ads a lot? They're not actually "ads". They're paid product…

Why would federal regulation of crypto be unlikely? It should have been regulated from the start.

"As with the e-book price fixing suit, the "higher prices" claim is dubious." The e-book pricing lawsuit was focused on NYTimes bestsellers. Those were the books that Apple/publishers wanted to increase the price on. There was never any dispute abo…

Apple's ANC is meant to be used in combination with audio. It's not meant to be used by itself with no audio playing. All the people who claim they can hear a difference in ANC based on the firmware used would likely fail a blind test when the ANC i…

LOL...few people in this thread bothered to look at the Verge article being cited. The complaint to the NLRB is that Apple failed to share the details of the new benefits with the union. In other words, the ability to negotiate has been compromised …
