  • App Store changes look like a free ride to some developers

    What happens next!? Apple will charge for the developer API and tools (XCode) again and probably lot's of it in a monthly subscription model. Beginners can use Apple Playgrounds. Greedy Tim can't think in any other way.
    Since when does Adobe, Autodesk, Quark, Epic, Stream, Sony, or Nintendo give away Freebies to their software or infrastructure there is a fat charge in the end….

  • Qualcomm CEO downplays importance of Apple relationship after C1 modem

    It’s big because if it works out, Apple will be able to do better things with future Apple devices that they couldn’t do with Qualcomm hanging around in the long term, similar to having Intel hanging around imagine Apple still having to depend on Intel right now? 

    We haven’t heard the last from Qualcomm patent trolls don’t go quietly into the sunset.

  • Apple appeal to pause injunction enforcement allowing external linking fails

    Not surprising. Apple clearly does not retain the best lawyers and Apple majorly annoyed the judge by slow walking her orders. Not sure that Apple will lose that much. I personally will not share payment credentials with each and every developer,  so I will stay with Apple for IAP unless there is a signficant discount. While having a choice is user friendly, could Apple force developers to be 'in' or 'out' as far as payments, and offer perks to those that remain 'in', like app development tools at a discount, longer lead times for new iOS features, accelerated reviews of submitted apps, etc. Apple spends money on the App Store. They should not give it away for free.
    Apples lawyers are not junkyard dogs, on the other hand, a lawyer is not much good if they don’t follow their clients instructions, which probably also played a big part. I think Apple‘s biggest mistake was getting into an argument. Their stance should’ve been Epic violated the contract and that’s why they’re out period. 

    Apple seem to always try to play both sides and say that Epic could come back if they mend their ways, but their only position should’ve been there is no coming back. They violated the contract, once judges hear that you’re willing to negotiate, they start to look for an easy way out to please both sides, Apple‘s stance should have been like their stance with Adobe flash you are out that is it. (However that was under Steve Jobs)

  • Apple gets millions of dollars in tax refunds to stay in Cupertino

    I don’t think it’s fair that sone huge corporation gets a tax discount and not everyone else!!!  Like small businesses!!!  I guess it helps Apple from fleeing the state like so many others.  Too bad their UFO can’t just fly away to another state.

     High taxes and high everything else. doesn’t make much sense to stick with CA.  I can only assume the tax break and the cost of building another building is just too costly for now.  In 10-20 years?  Who knows!!!
    So Apple should move to a state with low taxes on the surface (has higher property taxes and toll roads everywhere they can), a state that also has low support and a even lower opinion of post secondary education is something Apple should do?
