I just want all of those terrific sounding and expensive AU plugins for GarageBand on iOS to now work on my desktop. It makes little sense from a production standpoint to nearly finish one’s work using iOS, then be unable to finesse the audio for release using macOS when many of the sounds are missing and have to be recreated using a lesser alternative.

I’m tempted, that’s for sure...

Sure sounds like how a monopolist works.  Amazon better be careful. 

Oh, I don't know about that. YouTube videos are not a public service and I get the impression that they lose lots of money every quarter by subsidizing all of this immense storage and delivery of videos.

"RBC Capital analyst Mark Mahaney estimates YouTube's annual revenue has reached $10 billion and is increasing by as much as 40% a year." 

What are they spending?

Found this:

YouTube Traffic

• 60 hours of video are uploaded every minute, or one hour of video is uploaded to YouTube every second.
• Over 4 billion videos are viewed a day
• Over 800 million unique users visit YouTube each month
• Over 3 billion hours of video are watched each month on YouTube
• More video is uploaded to YouTube in one month than the 3 major US networks created in 60 years
• 70% of YouTube traffic comes from outside the US
• YouTube is localized in 39 countries and across 54 languages
• In 2011, YouTube had more than 1 trillion views
• In 2011 there were almost 140 views for every person on Earth

YouTube Partner Program

• Created in 2007, the YouTube partner program now has 30,000+ partners from 27 countries around the world
• YouTube pays out millions of dollars a year to partners
• Hundreds of partners are making six figures a year
• Partner revenue has more than doubled for four years in a row

Making Money from YouTube

• YouTube is monetizing over 3 billion video views per week globally
• 98 of AdAge’s Top 100 advertisers have run campaigns on YouTube and the Google Display Network
• Hundreds of advertisers are using TrueView in-stream and 60% of our in-stream ads are now skippable

I just spoke with applecare.  If you were not part of the beta, apple pay cash is still not available even with the new update.  The person on the phone is saying they are getting flooded with calls about apple pay cash because the announcement was misleading. 

Rene Ritchie at iMore says it'll follow in about a week. This is the week that Apple seemingly couldn't do anything right.

A post-Brexit Britain (if those silly limeys ever move ahead on the issue instead of stalling like a bunch of spineless cowards) will need to be far more attractive as a business and investment option if they want to prevent the collapse of their economy and see a thorough loss of competitiveness. The Socialists have no answer for the way forward, Brits.
