No criticism of the author of this fine article intended — but on Judge Rogers's decision, and "Epic definitely got the worst of it", I feel the need to comment: The only thing bad that this decision did to Epic is that they don't get to ruin Apple'…

I read this whole article and all the comments, and I still don't know: Are Apple and Google allowed to charge their commission for companies that use alternate payment portals? Because I think that's what's going to happen in the USA after Judge Ro…

Hey, doesn't S. Korea have big companies that do business in the USA? Like, Samsung and Hyundai, just to name two? Maybe the U.S. should pass a law requiring them to offer U.S. consumers a special, lower, pricing tier where the company makes zero pr…

Apple has the winning argument here, because it is not actually disabling tracking — it's just giving each individual user the option to allow/disallow tracking in any particular app. Therefore, FaceBook's counterargument becomes, de facto, "every u…

dewme said: "the tech giants would be forced to allow them in their digital storefronts" That's some very scary Big Brother massively intrusive sh**. Would Walmart, Target, Kroger, etc., allow the government to force them to stock certain pro…

What chance does this Intel presentation have to convince Apple to abandon its M-series chip plans, and jump back to Intel 86 chips? Absolutely zero. How many consumers who were going to buy a Mac are going to be persuaded by this presentation to in…

Zuckerberg: "Apple's changes will benefit them, while hurting the industry and the ..." Apple's changes will benefit them? How, exactly, will it benefit them? Oh, by bringing in more users, when people gravitate toward the platform that lets them c…

fordee said: I’m not sure how this is different from before and why a judge wouldn’t just say that to avoid the damage by reverting the app to how it was before. The damage is self-inflicted, and as such, can be remedied by Epic solely. E…

Imagine if Coke sent new signage to Kroger, for the Coke section of the store, that announced, "This soda would be a lot cheaper if Kroger didn't mark it up so much above the wholesale price." Would Kroger happily install that signage in their store…

FYI: Essential was founded Nov. 9, 2015. If those investors who just lost almost all of their $330 million had instead bought shares of Apple on that date, they would have nearly tripled their money by now.

Most likely, Epic simply senses a threat to their long-term domination of this business, and these hospitals are toeing the line dutifully because they're too far in bed with Epic to imagine getting out in one piece. I've had the misfortune to actua…

Lest we forget -- Google's Project Ara.

Huge Apple fan, but I gotta mention: "Think different" was a parody of IBM's many-decade "Think" slogan.

I'm sure Apple will just pass this tax on to the Austrian consumer in the form of higher prices.

canukstorm said: No one is above the law. You want to play in someone else's backyard, you play by their rules or don't play at all. Too true. But in this case, Apple wasn't going to be prosecuted for violating any actual law (not to mentio…

Epic's CEO says App Store share is a "parasitic loss," and App Stores "aren't really doing much to help us anymore." Meanwhile, as reported on Slashdot: "Epic's First Fortnite Installer Allowed Hackers To Covertly Download and Install Anything on U…

The positive accomplishments of Nader's Corvair exposé might be just a happy coincidence. Consider Upton Sinclair, who is heralded today for exposing the horrors of the meat-packing industry in his book, "The Jungle," which resulted in the pure-food…

In his open letter to Tim Cook, Nader delivered what appears to be a sincere attempt at a comprehensive laundry list of popular, Apple-is-evil sophistry, then concluded with the line, "I look forward to your thoughtful response." Three months later,…
