Apple's 'flat out victory' will cause problems for antitrust regulatory efforts
What are you talking about. I understand you are trying to reference something about Apple. But I am not getting it. Could you please explain? Thank you.crowley said:
Burger King and McDonalds don't demand that you pay them if you want to add something extra to your burger after you've left the restaurant.StrangeDays said:Looking forward to the suits against Burger King for its monopoly on the Whopper, and McDonald's for its Big Mac. And their menus and suppliers. I mean, why can't someone make them offer sushi? Or place an independent developer's chef's taco truck in the parking lot? We demand access to their customer base so we can offer the customer choice!
...glad the judge wasn't having it. Hope it sticks.

Apple not a monopoly but must allow alternate payment methods for apps, judge rules
I read his post. I think it’s a great idea.shareef777 said:
Wow, did you even read what you wrote before posting it!?aderutter said:Well Apple should not allow Epic back regardless.
Other than that, I hope that Apple adds a new app-store rule stating that apps that use in-app purchases other than Apple-Pay cannot be free to download.
I suggest a minimum purchase of $4.99 of which Apple get the usual 15%/30%. Apple needs to recoup it’s costs somewhere.You imply that something wrong with his post. What?

US lawmakers not impressed with Apple App Store changes, pressing on with bill
I am starting to believe that in the most cases the government only makes the situation worse. This is one of those situations. With “twin monopolies” - LOL, they have even coined a new term just to make their absurd case which hurts free market.

Mark Zuckerberg may have lied to Congress about who can see WhatsApp messages

Except lying to Congress under oath is a felony…crowley said:So it only gets triggered when one of the conversation participants reports the contact? That seems entirely in line with expectations, what else would a user expect to happen when they report content? If the complaint is that the user who gets reported should have their privacy respected then that seems decidedly bogus to me.
No fan of Facebook or WhatApp, but I don't see anything to be concerned by here, save perhaps the use of external contractors.
Sure. And no one lied. Because no one reads end-to-end encrypted messages.MplsP said:

Facebook only reads reports the users send. The same would be true if I made a screenshot of the message and posted it on a forum - now everyone can read the information on the screenshot, but not the original message (unless it is shared as e.g. screenshot or report etc.).

iMac could be made from a single glass sheet in the future
Agreed, terrible ergonomics.bsimpsen said:Fixing the keyboard to the display is ergonomically terrible and makes no sense in a desktop computer. My keyboard is on an adjustable tray, 14 inches below the bottom edge of my iMac display and 11 inches in front of it, tilted backwards 10 degrees. I will purchase no computer that doesn't allow me to replicate this geometry, which eliminated my nearly debilitating RSI pain over 20 years ago.
