  • Apple CEO Tim Cook named lead independent director at Nike

    Whats a lead independent director?
    My guess:

    Lead = Cheif
    Indepenpendant = not part of the typical corporate structure
    Director = telling Nike what to do

    Probably sorta like iCEO, until the new guy gets his training wheels off.

    Apple needs to be careful here. Apple Music isn't even something you have to seek out on the App Store and download. They just updated the native music app that's pre-installed on every phone. Look what happened with Microsoft and IE. And the DOJ already has contempt for Apple. Last thing Apple needs is a whole can of worms opened up about only being able to install software from the App Store. 
    Huge difference. Microsoft had a monopoly. A monopoly is not on a particular platform but on all devices. Microsoft only sold software and not the hardware that the software was put on. So they weren't also selling their own "platform". The WinTel alliance put Windows on every manufacturers desktop hardware. Thus, leading to a monopoly in the market. 

    Apple makes the hardware and is controlled by its own software. Unless either Apple's hardware takes over 90% of the market or Apple starts selling its iOS to other manufacturers hardware,  leading to a monopoly of the device market then nothing they are doing is Illegal. 
    Don't bother, your logic is far too keen.  It's taken four pages of remedial explanation, and rogifan still fails to grasp.  It's either willful ignorance, or an issue that can't be corrected with words.

    Does Target get 30% of every magazine subscription for magazines it sells in its stores? Should Apple pay 30% of stores sales to every mall owner where they have a store located? Most of the apps on my iOS devices I downloaded for free. Should there be no free apps on the App Store? Is Apple's support for CNN's free app different than their support for the Spotify app (other than the credit card transaction for Spotify's service)?
    Too stupid.  Yes, if you buy thru Target's store, at their registers, Target takes a cut.  When you buy a subscription card for Xbox Live at Target, they take a very healthy cut.

    I'm glad Spotify is doing this. Apple should allow subscription apps to offer a redirect to the browser to sign up. There's no reason Apple should be taking 30% of someone's monthly Spotify fee. They're not hosting any content. And it certainly doesn't cost them $3 to process the credit card transaction. Google allows alternate payment methods. Apple should do the same. How hard would it be for Spotify to have a link in the app that takes you out to Safari to sign up? It wouldn't be. This is all about $$$ for Apple. 
    Idiotic, and you keep carping about the same thing.  Apple has a store, they get a cut, 30% is bottom barrel share across any industry for that. 

    Apple making money on products and services they offer?  Shock!  

    Whats Spotify do with their cash? Buy rainbows for starving children?  Or screw artist with abysmally low rates and pocket more than they should?  These hypocrites should first pay up before whining about their crap business model.
