If I understood correctly, using the root permission granted by the user when the prompt for the password comes up, they hack the database containing the accessibility settings, and add themselves to the list.

Doing it is only part of of it. Doing it behind users back without a message or warning, or a even an article on their website is the biggest problem.

My point is the difference is a difference of terminology not in functionality. A zoom system is one that can achieve multiple focal lengths with the same setup, and in that sense the iPhone 7 plus has a 'discrete' zoom, just like

No, when using optical zoom there is no mix of data. It uses just the second camera. I think they use both only when creating shallow depth of field shots.

> it's just two focal lengths with a switch. Which is what zoom is. Only that in a normal zoom, the 'switch' is a slider.

They said the same thing of physicist, biologists, geologists, chemists, etc. before, that is until they found themselves irrelevant . I suspect in time, it will happen again.

This boils down to (1) don't use your computer and (2) if you have to use your computer don't do anything in it.

You are discussing competition law, because you have redefined the market. Microsoft was found guilty of abusing its position because it had a monopoly on the entire PC OS market. They didn't, and don't have a monopoly on the Wi

Yes. If you define the market the way it suits you you'll always be right.

What law forces a store to carry items/services they do not want to sell? Microsoft has a store for the Xbox, and they decide what they sell on that store. If Sony submits a game for the Xbox store Microsoft can reject it without givin

Ok. I don't agree. The original argument described literally how every other store (specially big chains) in the world works.

I don't know as I do not have all the facts, or any context other than what Spotify is claiming. I think they should not be in trouble if what they are doing is the same thing Amazon is. I'm also of the opinion that Apple should g

I agree with you completely, I was just responding to the original comment which in my opinion made a poor case defending Spotify, arguing for a monopoly case against Apple. I think the more relatable case, and the one that should be compar

If the suppliers were promoting their other distribution channels inside Walmart you may have the shadow of a point. And don't get me wrong, I think Apple should allow Spotify or any one else to tell the customer, inside the App, tha

They don't, because of Apple's 30%. That is the point, everybody is getting the same treatment, some accept it, some do not.

Apple does impose 30% on all services. Just ask Dropbox, or Amazon. You are arguing that Walmart shouldn't sell their own brand of soda because it charges Pepsi some percentage to sell theirs. Ridiculous.

That is not true. The Play Store, the Amazon AppStore and other smaller stores are all choices the consumer has at the time of purchase, and second there is the Web. You can buy on almost any online retailer with an iOS device and in fact i

You keep saying, in many different ways, that you can prove your hypothesis that morality is objective by inserting a god into the argument, followed by asserting the relativity of your position. I don't know how you are missing that.
