Nearly twenty five years ago, the DoJ nearly split Microsoft into two companies due to them abusing their position as an ecosystem gatekeeper. How did we go from that to the point where apple (or google even), acting both as gatekeeper and

Seriously. What the hell is the point of holding an event that ultimately celebrates freedom of expression in a country that is now known for celebrating freedom of expression in any way shape or form?

This is so infuriating. Why does apple think that they can dictate what companies can and cannot sell through their own stores? This is gangster mentality, plain and simple.

Can confirm. I have an android device that was given to me by my company and PWAs work just fine in Firefox. It's not a matter of technical limitations, it's just the poor multitrillion dollar company is gonna screw over their cus

Well, this just forces my hand to buy an android device next year when my iPhone will no longer be supported by iOS.

THE SE 1 was damn near perfect. Great size, no camera bump, headphone jack, great battery life, fantastic all-metal build quality, fingerprint sensor...

The market is fine? Do you have any sources to back that up? I'd argue that my family with its rampant technological illiteracy are part of "the market" and they would all throw a hissy fit if their environment and work flow

You're right. This is totally not predatory behaviour and there's absolutely no need for any sort of regulation.

It doesn't make any business sense whatsoever to antagonize developers right about when they're about to launch a new product that will need 3rd party support.

Blizzard hasn't released a new game for macOS since Heroes of the storm back in 2015 and valve has pulled support for Steam VR on mac and won't even bother updating most of their games to intel 64 bit binaries in order to get them

This is so unbelievably weird to me. Apple is a multi-trillion(!) dollar corporation whose sole purpose is to generate profit and increase it YoY. Yet people are acting like scary government bureaucrats are trying to persecute their best fr

What kind of "onerous regulation" are we used to, exactly?

Sure: "This change is a result of the DMA’s requirements, and means that EU users will be confronted with a list of default browsers before they have the opportunity to understand the options available to them. The screen also interrup

Their entire response is so petty. Borderline unprofessional in its tone, really.

European Citizens voted for the people who voted for those regulations.

No kidding. "Ι/ι", "Η/η", "Υ/υ" and the diphthongs "ΕΙ/ει", "ΟΙ/οι", "ΥΙ/υι", "ΗΥ/ηυ" are all pronounced like the English letter "

Jeez, Japan did not start the year off on the right foot.

Yeah, after some quick looking into this, cost seems to be the reason why. And ultimately their decision to purchase an external solution seemed to have paid off handsomely.

I've always wondered why Apple didn't kept on developing A/UX as their replacement for classic Mac OS but instead chose to focus on either Frankenstein-like experiments, such as Copland or purchasing technology stack from 3rd

Helping accelerate the death of Flash was probably Steve Jobs' most important contribution to computing. That said, it's appalling that Apple is getting away with banning 3rd party browser engines on iOS.

This looks like it's about to change, at least in the EU.

It's absurd that Ireland needs to be forced to accept money that the richest company in the world owe it.
