I sense a whole new slew of lawsuits (for 5G patent infringement) being prepared right now. Buying technology from patent holders removes a whole heap of pain from the purchaser. You can't sue your customer for infringing your patents now, can you? (Don't answer that).

Now those patent holders will feel that they have a legitimate case. Being snubbed by Apple is more than enough cause to send in the lawyers with billions of $$$ in their eyes.

The Stem Player is a great idea.

Problem is, you don’t need hardware for it. Apple could announce the feature tomorrow with great support.

Not sure why Kanye is being a di** to Apple who is very pro-artist and supported him so much.

Perhaps he thinks that he is bigger than Apple and Spotify combined?
Anyway, he won't be missed. The exit door is that way --->

Ah, Tesla. You 'thing' is so connected that they know everything about you, where you go, how many people you have in your car, and how you drive. 
Fail to pay homage to Emperor Elon I then they can stop your car dead in its tracks. They can even stop the car from DC charging at will.

Some say that Apple is a cult. You ain't seen nothing when compared to the devotion that many Tesla fans have towards their savior (Elon)

I do drive an EV but it isn't one of his designs. I did look at a Model 3 (the Y is just becoming available here...) but the build quality was very poor when compared to other EV's in the same price range.

I am trying to work out what the regulatory crime is here?

the west is subjecting itself to red tape overreach, but classifying an entity selling groceries as a grocery store just like every other entity selling groceries is not an example of bad policy.

This ruling just puts Amazon under the same rules as every other food retailer in the country. it is about time too. Their **** is way too expensive and most of it is very poor quality (from Wholefoods in London). No surprise really. Their store in Kensington was once home to BIBA. If you are old enough you can remember that place. 

Go Zuck, Go!

Websites could start by removing those hidden (from the user) links back to FB etc. My router blocklist would thank you. Almost every week, I have to add 20-30 more FB and Google, and MS slurp sites to the list.
