  • Apple's Tim Cook receives stock award worth $282M, sells $132M

    Gross. They could have given $2000 to every single full-time employee instead.
    There is a mindset which poor people have. That to be rich is a sin or as you said “gross”. 

    Also one of the problems with the communism in the USSR was that things and money were taken from hard working people. Just so that those who didn’t earn it could get it. 

    You just sound like a poor communist who wants to steal from hard working people who earned more than you.

  • Epic calls Apple's 'Fortnite' & developer tool block 'overbroad retaliation'

    Epic has no intention of passing on any gains to consumers. It will go right in the pockets of the company and owners. 
    This is speculative and does not seem to be true based on the available evidence of the commission rate on the Epic Game Store, and what Epic actually offered when this whole fiasco started.. 


    Discount price is often offered for a limited time. It’s just a public stunt. They can raise the price fot direct payment anytime they want.  
    Moreover, you can sideload the game on Android to enjoy those prices. Is that what you want? Then use Android. The devices are often also cheaper. 
    You want everything cheaper. So buy cheaper stuff. Don’t buy Apple’s stuff if you don’t want to pay Apple.

  • Epic sues Apple after Fortnite removed from App Store

    About time. They are our devices, we should be able to run whatever we want on them including a competing app store. If Apple thinks 30% is fair then it can try competing with app stores where the cut is 10% and see how well it does. What if a $10 app cost only $8 on another app store? How many customers would stick with Apple then?
    Why are you not suggesting to compare 30% with an alternative App Store with no fee at all? Of course lower price will win. But there are costs to run the store; and other related costs like developing Swift, xCode etc. 

    Developers have to pay $99 to be allowed to develop & publish apps. That fee goes towards developing developer tools.
    Of course it goes toward it. Which portion of these costs (developing development tools) does the fee cover?

  • Spotify supports Epic Games' private antitrust action against Apple

    Pull the Spotify down from the App Store until the disputes are resolved. 

    Even though I use Spotify Premium, I would support such move.

    I will be going to Costco and Safeway tomorrow  and ask them to clear up shelf space for me to sell my home made lemonade for free. After, I will goto local steakhouse and ask them to give me a free steak because they are the biggest and most profitable steak house in town!
    Great idea. Let’s do so!
