The best part about this is if given the choice 99.99% of the people in the world will pick Google because that is the name they know. Yes a few zealots would to with Duck Duck Go and a handful with Bing, but those are insignificant. Google is paying to make it convenient to select them.

Good.

Paying to be the default search engine should be a crime.

Can you give us one reason why? We live in a capitalist society and this is how companies make money. 

Might as well start suing manufacturers who pay for specific shelf space at stores. How about all of the exclusive advertising deals that companies make with teams and these are much more up front "Official plumbing company" of some football team. We the consumer are forced to look at that company's name plastered all of the stadium and even here mention of it. The teams are getting paid by those companies for the position.

- Apple Card availability?

Not even in Canada yet. With no hints of it coming here. Thanks for making a list of Apple's US-centric worldview.

None of us have any idea what the difficulties in doing so are nor do we know if the Canadian customer is a desirable one for a multitude of reasons. 

If I want something in leather that is what I am buying. These do-gooder products appeal to few and are most are not even remotely equivalent. It’s good for third parties making leather cases though.
