US Supreme Court greenlights lawsuit over App Store monopoly
Apple's stake is the operating system on the device and the few apps that are installed by default. The rest does not belong to Apple, and it is not up to them to censor what the user can have on their device.therunningvm said:
You may own the device, but you do not own the software on that device.maciekskontakt said:The problem is not with just Apple Store, but censorship. It is not Appe's business what applications should be allowed to run on device (except those that violate some local laws). We purchase that device to own it - not to lease it under strict contract. They can restrict apps on Apple Store, but then do not restrict people from haveing alternative stores. Disclaimers can be in place. I think this backfire of foolish concept of holding manufacturer liable for actions and abuse of others. So California uses that wicked logic and needs to continue along this narrative while it should verify it's foundations in the first place. Any tool in wrong hands could be misused, abused and used for illegal intent as well. No manufacturer should be liable in those cases.

Apple is a 'consumer company' and not a normal tech firm, suggests Tim Cook
So they've gone from being a serious computer company to a toy-store. That explains a lot, Timmy!

Quicktime 7, Carbon, Ink, Apple's hardware RAID support predicted to be gone in macOS 10.1...
Booting from an Apple software RAID has been impossible since 10.12.6, so perhaps Apple could do good and restore the ability both for APFS and HFS+ RAIDs.

Mac malware jumps more than 60% in three months, massive uptick in adware
How on earth did you manage to get 25 or so malware on your Mac? – Or was it just something Malwarebytes reported, so it could sell you the Premium version?matrix077 said:Coincidentally I just deleted 25 or so adware from my MBA by the help of malwarebytes.com. It has never run cooler or quieter than now.
To answer Lorin Schultz above, just don’t install suspect apps, apps that the process of installation looks suspicious. And don’t install Safari extension that you’re not sure of. If possible get the apps from Mac App Store as much as possible.
