Vestager uses a lot of 'we feel' and 'we are concerned'. Fortunately EU courts are more about the letter of the law than interpretations and I hope this will be like the Apple-Irish tax case. Still this has got to be painful for Apple and the other …

Legal arguments aside. I do not recall seeing such a Hollywood staged press conference by the DOJ for other tech companies being targeted. Or 'individuals' who deserved a lot more attention when it comes to justice required. Garland staged this, wit…

I am not sure if the iPhone 16 features are worth waiting for or just get the 15 now. Also the next version of the Ultra watch... Should I wait for the DOJ or EU reviews on what is best choice for Apple's new products? LOL

RadMax said: This drama between Apple and DOJ reminds me of the scene in Monty Python’s Life of Brian movie where John Cleese’s character Reg questions “what have the Roman’s ever done for us”, and then the crowd says things like sanitation, …

Such policies are vindictive and clearly personal for Vestager as she portrays herself as the Joan of Arc for non competitive EU companies such as Spotify. They are hardly victims. These attacks will make EU a very unattractive place to do business,…

The latest that I have read is that Apple will not be allowed to notarize any app from an alternative app store. Hands off completely? Call me crazy but that sounds like the EU commission will take some responsibility for app safety. I would think, …

The EU Commission is 'bound' to hear all complaints... thereby ensuring that they will be employed forever, as the complaints from the Ek's and Sweeney's will be just that.. forever. Frankly the bureaucracy that has become the EU is mind boggling.

Daniel Ek has the EU regulators on speed dial, and now even they are getting tired of Spotify constant whining. Like the old saying 'A watched app never gets approved.'

I think Apple is expecting this to go to EU courts as Verstager has a history of policy and regulation that has been successfully challenged on legal grounds. Contracts are contracts, and Epic deliberately broke theirs with Apple. Apple had every le…

The EU does not generate enough profit for Apple to be happy about a $2B fine. That is going to hurt. Why for all this, when Apple was responding to DMA and making accommodations for their anti steering practices?... Because Margrethe Vestager is st…

There is a certain amount of schadenfreude anticipation going on here. While Apple certainly would not wish harm to come to anyone's phone, Apple users who were most vocal against side loading would likely take some pleasure in seeing side loaded EU…

He makes money by promoting loony tune discussions and conspiracies. Hard pass for me but others find him entertaining. I think about how time listening to his 2000 episodes could instead be used for something much more worthwhile. Like vacuuming my…

After watching this video, I am going to have a recurring nightmare now, where I am an Apple tech with a Vision Pro in pieces, and I have to put it together for a deadline, and it never works. Uggggh.
