Metriacanthosaurus said: There has to be a system of checks and balances. The idea that Apple can do whatever it wants with its own platform isn’t good enough. That is just a copout and a way to circumvent fairness, openness, and possibly eve…

The only part of Apple's argument I disagree with is "now they're leveraging their scale to avoid contributing to maintaining that ecosystem for the next generation of app entrepreneurs". As a service becomes big, it should pay a smaller and smalle…

seanismorris said: The app developers have a point, but when the revenue is big enough they’re going to leave app purchases anyways. This is why Apple should have a tiered approach to their in-app purchase cut. They should keep their cut…

mac_dog said: Whoever gets to the patent office first gets the rights. Isn’t that how the game is played? Everyone who contributed to the conception of the invention is an inventor, and should be listed on the patent.
