I’d assume parent’s point is regarding the “which is ridiculous because e-commerce storefronts should do that in the first place without going through the whole checkout process.” part. There’s a lot of legitimate case were showing shipping

That’s pretty broad though. Like saying Kodak’s failing was on the digital shift. It’s completely true, but you would travel back in time and tell that to the CEO, the result would be the same. There are so many structural issues to solve t

Yes, and it also depends on your relationship with work. For some it's more important to clearly cut from it at the end of the day than to get into it in the morning :) Then I see a lot of people doing both.

Totally. The lego technic sets are a boon in that respect, mindstorms being a very good entrypoint to programming (“telling a machine to do stuff on its own”) in particular, and to engineering in general. The new Spike set looks promising.

The two possible alternatives I’d see with any plausibility: - Apple brings down their fees to an almost “at cost” amount (basically a bit more than average PSPs). They keep ads and other potential “premium” services that have actual value

I understand they are in a dominant position in pretty lucrative markets, but I am not sure their position is that stable anymore. At some point I actually needed an iPhone to perform some tasks in my life, and there was a huge gap between

I agree with you, my preferred solution would actually be that Apple acts as a PSP and lets Amazon and other companies use IAP without the 30% cut (let’s say it stays at 3 or 4% for instance) My angle was just that taking 30% instead of 3%

Yes. I think that’s Apple has put itself in a weird position where the most vocal devs are making them the least money at this point. But if they make an exception to give these devs what they want, mobile gaming devs will be next banging a

Very well put, as usual. The most important part for me is how both developers and users are unhappy with the current rules. Hey is the latest flavor of the controversy, but from the start I’m bitter I can’t buy Amazon ebooks directly from

As a user, I feel Nintendo has been pretty good about updates: they don't update a lot, and each updates has user facing features with QOL improvements. It's not in the same situation as iOS updates that were effectively slowing d

I'd argue the point is not how the public felt about about Flash, but how device makers saw it. Flash didn't make it on any other mobile platform. Serious attempts were being made way earlier than the iPhone, including for Symbian
