There was no App Store for the first year, which I believe is a time when Android didn't exist. An app-less iPhone would not be able to compete with an app-store backed Android.

I think if you think back to 2007/8 and people had the choice of Android with millions of apps and a higher priced iOS ecosystem which only has some high profile apps so few people would choose iOS that it would quickly become a waste

I've seen this comment all over the place and I genuinely can't believe people think this. Apple accepted v1.0 of the app. They're rejecting v1.0.1 which just contains some bug fixes. How could anybody predict this? It's

Take away those apps and those iPhone's become useless bricks. Apps + developers add huge value to the platform.

It's only 15% after year 1. Until then it's 30%. Also, I believe it's 15% after an individual subscription has been ungoing for a year (it doesn't apply to all subscriptions after the app has been out one year). Finally

I think this saga proves the rules are not clearly stated. The rules do not make clear at any point that “reader” apps (however Apple chooses it will define them today) and business focussed apps do not need to offer IAP. Apple didn’t even

I guess I'm forgetting there are people with dozens of tabs open at a time that probably wouldn't like this. The Safari thing does keep them separate though from your mobile tabs until you open one.

As a Safari user it boggles my mind that Firefox's send to device feature is considered good at all. All my Safari tabs are automatically synced to my phone at all times with no intervention needed from me. It's one of the few thi

Mens rea is more intention to do the act, not knowledge of criminality. For example intentionally killing someone is murder even if you didn't know murder is a crime (because the act or killing was intended). The mens rea is intention

Modern Warfare is a nightmare. 50-80GB updates every month and no online play until you update. That can be over 12 hours for me. It's one thing I've noticed since getting a console recently after not having one since the PS2 era.

Worth looking into Tim Ferriss again. He's done so many episodes of his podcast now that there is a wide range of guests. I'd say if it leans towards any subject it wouldn't be tech but maybe health/body related subjects
