No one said there is no markup. MSRP is explicitly not "at cost" or even wholesale. That is the actual point. MSRP is constant at all retailers though.

The App store advertises the app store price. Your entire line of reasoning seems ridiculous to me, but even granting most of your premise, the wholesale price would be the price companies sell their software at with bulk discounts (purchas

Ah, good to know. I'm not sure if they changed that since launch, or I was just conflating them with one of the other extensions. This sounds more like Safari's newer behaviour, which sounds good in theory but in Safari's cas

You could say that about everything Mozilla has done in the last 10 years. They continue on because it's as much about changing people's priorities as enabling them. If they then choose out of pragmatism to behave in ways contrary

They're not usurping it. They literally created it as a term (and "brand") rather than simply two words. They weren't granted a trademark, so their creation of it has no legal weight, but that doesn't mean they can&
