    Motley Fool thinks it’s due to the $5 billion increase that Google is paying Apple to stay the default iOS search engine. That makes a lot more sense than the gain from satellite connections to me.

    Just random fluctuations in the market. High supply of money needing somewhere to put it. 

    Better than buying Bitcoin.

  • South Korea ends Apple, Google control of app store payments

    larryjwlarryjw
    Apple and Google will need to support their app stores some way. There is a significant cost and effort involved. 

    And, the entire development platform is supported by the App Stores. It’s virtually free now. 

    I would not be surprised to see the consolidation (collapse) of most app companies. At best, their costs to use an outside App Store will be at least the cost they’re paying now to Apple. 

    At this point my guess is most apps out there are by hobbyists who have day jobs. It wasn’t that long ago there was pissing and moaning from the crowd for having to pay $99 a year for a developers license.

    look, anywhere there are people, there will be issues. 

    But to slam Apple as some discriminatory based workplace culture is ridiculous. Apple strives harder than anyone to ensure this is not the case. 

    Anytime someone gets passed over or disagrees with something, or has a conflict does not equal inequality, discrimination, etc. these are the people who are discriminatory. They won’t be happy unless the CEO is not a white person. Or a man. Regardless of the best available candidate is white or male. Enough of that. 

    How about work hard and make yourself indispensable. The best candidates should get the best jobs. The hardest and smartest workers should get the promotions. 

    Enough hand outs because somebody creates some noise and pretends there’s a problem. It seems the actual good hard working people get nothing these days snd loud mouth problem creators get catered to. Hope Apple lets them run themselves ragged with this crap snd rewards actual good workers. 
    You know this, How?

    Freedom of Speech not only gives you to right to speak, but the right not to speak. I'd suggest, since you could have no idea about the substance of these issues, you make use of the important right of not speaking.

  • Bill Maher declares Apple CSAM tools a 'blatant constitutional breach'

    larryjwlarryjw
    Oh, if Bill Maher says so, it must be true!

    I know. My law degree isn't from The Bill Maher School of Law, or Facebook School of Law, so I must be missing something in my legal education
