Judge rules Google is a search and advertising monopoly
This could remove 60% of the profit from Services, the only part of Apple delivering any growth compared to 2022. And it shows that DOJ is able to win antitrust cases. Google is going to take a beating but so is Apple.
Tim Cook and Eddy Cue did the price-fixing deal on iBooks to avoid competition. Cue quoted for a "I will do it again" and he did. What a mess.

Apple reaches agreement with unionized Maryland Apple Store workers
Researchers from Notre Dame found that the happiest nations have strong unions. US is certified miserable (not in top 20 of nations), depend on politicians to set minimum wages (nanny state?), and hit annual records in homelessness including millions of homeless kids. You can't beat China by reenacting The Grapes of Wrath.designguybrown said:Unions are just refuges for the lazy, broken, and anarchistic.

Fortnite coming to iPhones in the EU via AltStore
He sounds like one fierce CEO and founder.davidw said:This same CEO that "couldn't be bought", but is more than willing to buy out others for his Epic Game Store "exclusives". He don't seem to have a problem with making "marketing kickbacks" deals that prevented game developers from selling their games in other PC gaming stores, to developers that are willing to be bought out.
Jobs killed Flash but hired the guy behind it (Kevin Lynch) which then delivered Apple Watch and is now VP of Technology at Apple. This is how you as a CEO combine your principles with business. I would rather have him than a penny-pinching bean counter. Make him responsible for gaming at Apple. -

That is something! A CEO that can't be bought is indeed difficult to handle.davidw said:nubus said:
Triple-A gaming on iOS is a failure with Fornite being the exception. The fact that Apple didn't make a quiet "marketing kickback" deal but allowed fragmentation of App Store is on Apple.

Nothing is "quiet" with that sleazeball Sweeney. Google tried to make a "marketing kickball" deal with that sleazeball and Sweeney ended up using it against Google in their Google Play Store monopoly lawsuit.
This is much like the letter from Jobs that killed Flash.
The troublemakers.
They have no respect for status quo.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.Because they change things.
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Think Different! I would hire him. -
