    The British documentary maker Louis Theroux is also related.

  • Apple TV+ review: 'Mythic Quest' keeps up the quality in season 2

    The two extra episodes, which I only watched this week, were great. The new series is ho hum. 

    It seems to not understand the difference between programmers and artists.

    Does this include Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or any social media apps? I suspect it does not.
    It does if they are tracking.

    Friedman would have been fired by Steve Jobs. Steve was all about his product first and hiring people of the same mind. Tells me a little something of the Apple standard.
    Jobs supported and promoted iAds. It’s Tim who is more privacy conscious - not “selling the customer” for example. 

    And jobs, after his first stint as Apple iCeo when he did get rid of some people, didn’t really fire anyone.

  • European Commission says Apple is in breach of EU competition law

    That’s it?

    As I predicted this will have little impact on Apple. Apple could simply make a change that specifically allows subscription services that compete with their own (meaning Apple Music and Apple TV+) to post a link within the App explaining how to sign up. Apple could also drop in-App subscription fees to a low figure (like 5%) that only applies to competitors.

    That is, if this even goes anywhere. This is just the preliminary ruling and isn’t actually a binding final decision. We still have a court case to go through. And then the appeals. The final result will be, IMO, minor changes for Apple.

    edited: One more thing. How does the EU think they have jurisdiction to demand 10% of global revenues as a penalty? They should only be allowed to apply a fine that’s a percentage of revenues in the EU?
    it's a very minor ruling on one specific case, I can't see the stock dropping.
