    Alok Sharma involved? 

    This has got failure written all over it. The clue is in the vague definition of what it’s actually for. 

    Once again the government tries to signal that it’s doing something when it’s doing nothing at all. 

    Specifically for online advertising, the group will deal with the "reduced quality" of display ads,

    What does this even mean?

    Agreed.
    Very vague. => Nothing useful will come out as a result.

  • France launches digital tax aimed at Apple and big tech companies

    uraharaurahara
    Isn't it easy to set up a subsidiary (or maybe other form)? Thus the subsidiary will be not a 'multinational' corporation. And thus the subsidiary operating in France won't pay that taxes.
    Please tell me. I don't know much about the corporate structure and taxes.

  • Apple's MagSafe wallet review: finally solves the unified iPhone and wallet issue

    As a vegetarian - which is not a rare thing in this world - my issue is the leather. I can understand the issue with silicon being grippy but I'd buy a knock off faux leather one even if it had a limited life span. I still like the wallets which cover the screen as my experience is that my screen stays mark free and it survives face first drops. They fold back behind the phone so I'm not sure about why that would make one feel silly using it.
    No one tells you to eat the wallet.  :p

    That's just about the fugliest case ever developed for an iPhone, and coming from Apple :smile:

    ANTICIPATION MOUNTS
    Does anyone here or know someone that felt this way?:
    "the hotly anticipated Leather Sleeve".

    STOP THE PRESSES!!
    Earth shattering innovative design by Apple -
    "When inserted, iPhone 12 displays the time through a cutout in the case, with the digital clock's font color matching that of the sleeve".
    OH, WOW!!

    ANOTHER GROUND BREAKING FEATURE "specially tanned and finished European leather" that develops a natural patina over time".

    Priced at $129.00, which is about $80.00 too much.

    This thing looks like something my daughter and her friends would have had when they were around 8 years old...In their club house...

    If you want a beautifully designed leather iPhone case check out Vaja, they have probably the finest selection of leather phone cases anywhere.

    mobrid user: LET ME BOST SOME BS!!
    ...mobrid user posts some BS.



    And Vaja cases cost $149,00. Which by your logic is $100.00 too much.

    And Vaja's design is something a person with style would never buy. 

    (See what I did there? ;)).

  • South Korean legislators urge Google to follow Apple's lead and cut app store fees

    uraharaurahara
    We don't know Google's margin on these 30%. Though, to be fair, neither Apple's. But what if Google's margin is much smaller than Apple's. Then it might be a wrong business decision to cut the fee.

    P.S.
    It is still dumb to 'urge'. The market forces will decide.
