DAalseth said: I’m glad you wrote this. Yes, these farms are greenwashing, the whole carbon credit biz is. Any time a company or country uses the words “Carbon Neutral” I know they are not really solving the problem, they are just looking for…

nubus said: Would we ever accept an ISP blocking some sites and features like local shopping "to protect us"? Do we want or need a gatekeeper on apps? A warning perhaps - but a gatekeeper? And the 30%... that Apple then lowered to 15% after …

What? No, I do not think they are reporting displays, mice and keyboards as active devices. PCs, phones, tablets and STBs are devices. Headsets too now of course.

Using emoji makes you more likable TO PEOPLE WHO ALSO USE EMOJI, study finds This is not a survey of a representative sample of people who receive messages. It's a survey of emoji users who - unsurprisingly - have positive feelings about emoji use.

lonestar1 said: Am I missing something? Yep. What you're missing is an understanding that there is no such thing as objective quality of subjective things like humor. The fact that you don't like something doesn't mean it is bad, and if th…

It doesn't matter that the companies are both American. Apple operates an Australian store for Australian customers with Australian pricing under Australia's taxation regime, and conducts some marketing in Australian media. There's nothing illegitim…

crowley said: The margin will be Apple's (revenue-costs)/revenue. Payments to app developers will not be considered part of that equation, as it's neither Apple's revenue or cost, it's just developer revenue that Apple are handling and pas…

entropys said: Anyway while I suspect the App Store has good margins like all Apple endeavours, I bet there are a few costs conveniently left out to make a highly political headline figure. Yes, very astute. The cost that they are conven…

That's not what the word "technically" means. "Technically" means, according to Miriam-Webster, "with regard to or in accordance with a strict or literal interpretation of something (such as a rule, a term, or an official description or design…

Pascalxx said: This sounds like Epic has a separate developer account for their Unreal Engine team which is marketed under a separate entity and Apple has threated to close both accounts, despite only one violating the App Store rules. So may…

Rayer said: Easy, they give the publishers a larger percentage cut off the $5. They aren't making any profit from Apple because they take too much of the cut. Apple has 50-50 split so $5 goes to publishers per subscriber. To match that M…

Hm, I kinda wish Apple had learned from the U2 album. People do not like automatic downloads. Crucially, not everyone lives in the US and-or has unlimited data! Worse, some people tether and use their extremely limited and costly mobile data for net…
