Ok, but you're completely wrong. It can play any mp3 or aac that doesn't have any DRM weather it's from Amazon, some other store or pirated.

The younger generation isn't bothering with Facebook as much (today's teens to early 20s) and going right to services that offer messaging and image sharing, maybe that's what the article is referring to.

You either didn't read the article or simply failed to understand from the article why he did it. He's not trying to exploit anything for himself or his company but instead of the betterment of minorities.

I'm not so sure if Apple needs Apple Pay to work everywhere, it's just another thing to make Apple experience "better". If people love it, then people might start buying only at stores that support it. It turns out peop

Meanwhile in Ottawa it was simply city bylaw officers who booked calls undercover and gave two $650 fines which Uber covered on behalf of the drivers. The service launched three weeks ago and the city simply wanted to show it's muscle,

What I don't understand is how a botnet could negatively affect Microsoft other than showing the world through news articles how it infected vulnerable Microsoft software? Is the bad press basically the reason and justification?

Most apps these days give the basic features for free and the unlock features cost money. This should give you a rough idea on app stability and how it works.
