It sounds pretty close to a ban to me. Certainly close enough than "banning" rather "severely restricting" is not flamebait.

Does that apply to police and firefighting as well?

Who is this radical left you speak of? Do you mean Comedy Central? I don't think that there is a left-wing analogue of the radical right with anything approaching the same level of organization, funding or popular impact. I would think that

That only applies to companies that are paying Beck. This is a company that is not paying Beck allowing it's worker to harm the interests of companies who do. Intellectual consistency is not a big priority here.

This is about defending crony capitalism. The patrons of the radical right make lots of money cooperating with authoritarian regimes in oil-rich countries, so lapdogs like Beck do what they can to move popular opinion in their favor.

Apple is already richly compensated for the additional value that their platform provides. The minute you understand that you will be a useful troll.

Eventually, but many are locked in by 2 year contracts. Apple probably figures it can force them to switch from Kindle to iBooks and then once their cell phone contract is up they will have even more incentive to by an iPhone 6 because all

I disagree with the last part. Apple desperately wants to be in the commodity payment processing business. They want a cut of every transaction that takes place on a cell phone, which someday soon may be almost every transaction in the co

I fear that they will "back down" to something like a 5% cut for certain types of low margin content. In other words something that looks good in comparison but is still completely unreasonable when compared to the 1% that Visa & Master

It would be bad enough if Apple was just demanding a 30% cut of all in-app purchases. Imagine if Visa or Mastercard tried to charge the same rates.

Rhapsody doesn't have "another" 30% to give. Their margins are probably something like 5%. Crapple is demanding 30% of the sale price, which leaves Rhapsody with a 25% loss. Since that is economically infeasible, Apple is effectively mandat

Meh, it means that the guy sending the email is a bit loony. It doesn't excuse responding in kind. Karp and Tumblr are a big deal. They should set a higher standard for themselves.

MS has started several labs groups that fit in between long-term academic research and product groups. For example, I work in Office Labs (www.officelabs.com). Our goals are something along what you describe in the Office / IW space.

I'm in the same situation with FIOS in the heart of Seattle, but the mayor has personally told me that it has nothing to do with regulatory hurdles. The city would love to have Verizon compete with Comcast and has tried to work with them on

If Apple breaks Flash because they changed their APIs in an incompatible way they would also have broken apps that used the same APIs directly. How about if Apple just stays away from breaking changes as much as possible and, if they are oc

His argument really hinges on it being rediculous for Apple to dictate what language people can program in. Comparisons to any other company are just a rhetorical device. I actually think he overstates the effects of the Windows monopoly, b

Lots of people write great code on Windows. There's no reason why Apple couldn't too, if it cared.

Where did the OP claim that Apple was a monopoly? Maybe it was this: "That is one difference between Apple and Microsoft- Microsoft was (still is) a monopoly, while Apple isn’t." No, that can't be it. Hmmm, I can't find it...

When your OS is installed on a billion or so computers worldwide backwards-compatability is pretty important. Vista broke backwards compatability for the driver model (for excellent reasons BTW) and MS got reamed for it. It's easy to be lai

Why are you interested? Are you suggesting that I don't have the right to be outraged if it doesn't directly affect me?
