  • Google loses to Epic Games in Play Store appeal

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    Weird. 

    So… if you own a golf course or movie theater, and have a store that sells first and third party goods in the property, then you have to allow others to set up their own store on your golf course or cinema?

    the whole thing is bonkers. 

    Google should take it to the Supreme Court… no wait. Google will mess it up somehow. APPLE should take it to the Supreme Court. 

    Tje kind of thinking that has gone into some of these decisions is so remedial, you have to wonder how the judges got into their positions. But it’s not like the 9th circuit is known for the best and brightest to begin with.

  • Fears over tariff price rises prompted panic buying of iPhones

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    One point of ten points of growth. 

    So,,, though it’s impossible to know for sure, if Cook’s guess is right, 90% of Apple’s stellar growth had absolutely nothing to do with “panick buying.”

    All the fear peddling has been much ado about nothing.

  • Apple's $94B Q3 soundly beats Wall Street thanks to iPhone and China growth

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    But… but I thought Apple’s quarter was supposed to be really bad because of tarriffs… LOL

    Oh wait… it must be because some randos were “panick-buying YEAR-OLD IPHONES or something…

    now that that’s over with, be interesting to see what the iPhone 17 price tag will be, because it’s supposed to be way higher, right? 

    Maybe the sensationalism can calm down and we can get on with the fact that fair and balanced trade is a good thing and though it has a way to go, has been a long time coming.

  • Apple hits back at DOJ antitrust suit paragraph by paragraph in scathing response

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    The DOJ suit is ridiculous. Good on Apple to fight. 

    Now if only Apple Would show this kind of backbone with the EU…

  • No India tariff deal means Apple will face iPhone import fees eight times higher than befo...

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    8x? Last I checked 25% from 10% is 2.5X. And we don't know the minutiae. So if that sticks, I doubt it's going to be some crazy trouble for apple. The president is pretty good at this stuff. I'll wait for more concrete news to break regarding the details on this before reacting. but from what I have seen so far, including with the UK. Trump is doing great things with these trade deals. We wanted fair balance. And so far, we are getting it and then some. Looking forward to see how India responds.
