  • Developers get day in court over 'tyrannical greed' of Apple's App Store

    I don't like their chances. Their arguments are weak. Their demands are ridiculous.
    If you want to go after Apple's monopoly, you have to use the customer's right to chose what apps they can use on their iPhones. That is where Apple is the weakest.
    For example, why can't I mine cryptocurrency on my iPhone if I want to?
    Why can't I use BitTorrent if I want to?
    Why can't I display a list of the WiFi networks around me?
    Why can't I run a Windows or game emulator?
    Why can't I choose any kind of Apple Watch face?
    1. Because that's what Apple allows/disallows.  
    2. You chose to use the product knowing the limitations
    3. You don't have a "right" to choose features and capabilities Apple doesn't offer.  
    4.  You DO have the right to petition Apple to change its policies.  
    Yep.

    Steve Jobs commenting on applications that are rejected in the Appstore because they provide pornographic content (2017):
    "Folks who want porn can buy an Android phone."

    Wait, how is this different from the USB-C one I already have? 
    Faster charging per the store product details. So they modified the pucks electronics. 
    Faster only if your have an AW S7

    Store Product Details:
    "Fast charging is only compatible with Apple Watch Series 7. Other models will have regular charge times."

  • NSO Group CEO says law-abiding citizens have 'nothing to be afraid of'

    "We are selling our products to governments. We have no way to monitor what those governments do," he said.

    Hulio did note that NSO Group has mechanisms in place to detect when abuse happens so that the company can "shut them down." He says that NSO Group has "done it before and will continue to do so. On the other hand, he said that NSO Group shouldn't be responsible for government misuse.
    So which is it, Hulio? Do you have a means of monitoring what governments do, or don't you?
