  • Spotify supports Epic Games' private antitrust action against Apple

    God most of the comments are cancer. 

    It's very obvious Epic planned this.

    Apple should pull the kill switch on all Epic and Spotify products.
    Spotify and Epic customers can use their digital purchases on other devices so they’re losing anything.

    Pulling the plug on all other products from Epic/Spotify in retaliation? Does that really sound like a good idea? You would literally only be strengthening the anti-trust lawsuits against Apple.
    Let me get this out of the way first; Spotify your “music service” sucks. The world would be a much better place without your service.

    Hey Epic those rules have been in place at least 10 years.  Why did you wait until now to pull this petty publicity stunt?
    By the way, 30% is a normal markup on any product(actually it’s on the low side). 
    The answer to this is easy, it's being scrutinized by many parties. This is their way to form their own protest. There are digital stores that take less, anything between 10-15% of the sales, with everything over 5% often being profits. While brick and mortar stores tend to have 25-50% profit margins, there are some differences between these stores, including discussion if subscriptions warrant a cut even if the user only signed up on the platform but doesn't use platform for the service.

  • Apple to launch entry level 13.3-inch MacBook with Retina display in Q2, report says

    I'd love to see something more than 8 GB of RAM offered. I know not everyone needs it, but considering that 8GB has been the largest option since 2012, it would be nice to get a bump.
