Apple slammed with $1 billion class action lawsuit in UK over 30% App Store fee
In all fairness, it kind of is a monopoly system. We have only two choices of smart phones (iPhone or Android). So the argument that if you don't like Apple's 30% fee, you can just develop for Android (where it is effectively the same price structure), doesn't really hold up.
Of course Apple and Google should be paid to maintain developer tools, their app stores, distribution system etc. But I would argue that this could easily be done with a flat 15% fee (and still earn a ton of cash). This is driven by greed, rather than actual cost of maintaining such stores.

Wish list: Nine features we want to see in an iMac refresh at WWDC 2018
I would like to see the case either go back to the thicker aluminum body used in 2009-2012 models or maybe something in the between. To me, it doesn`t matter if the edge of a desktop computer screen is 2,5 cm or 0,5 cm thick. I can understand the importance of making iPhones, iPads and macbooks thinner, since you will be carrying these around. This is not the case of the iMac. What does matter is repairability, upgradeability and airflow.
I would also like to see better GPU options. -
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai reveals Net Neutrality repeal plan, vote on Dec. 14
I can’t believe anyone (except the isp’s) would favour this. Here is a definition of Net Neutrality from wikipedia:
Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers and governments regulating most of the Internet must treat all data on the Internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication. For instance, under these principles, internet service providers are unable to intentionally block, slow down or charge money for specific websites and online content.
Why would you ever want your ISP to be able to intentionally block, slow down or charge money for specific websites and online content?
Are some people against goverment management for the sake of the principle?
