I believe DNS/domain name is really a problem that could be better served using a blockchain technology. The registers can't be trusted

Now is harder to distinguish between legit business websites and scams. The best alternative is to just use an iOS app as Apple does the verification(i.e. what EV provided). EV was far from perfect, they were expensive and hard to get but

Ok so we just removed the "sophisticated awareness" and now we wait for a fantasy/unknown solution. No brainer, right? To me this looks like a bad day for the open internet and a good day for walled gardens(i.e. Apple Store).

I actually found EV useful especially when logging in financial websites. Of course most people can't make the difference between http and https but I thought this issue will only be fixed by time.

My point was that UK MPs voted/supported this law so it's not really like this law will be forced upon UK thus the argument about Brexit is pointless. I'm pretty sure it will be translated into national law after Brexit.

I wonder how UK voted...it seems they supported the this law from the beginning.

>> When the UK is able to set its own lower tax rates and cuts special deals for such matters (which they'll do), lots of companies will flock back there too (same as they did with Ireland). It really depends by what kind of deal

Without some rehabilitation programs chances are that they will get back to prison regardless of how long or short it's their stay. I guess the gov has to decide if it's worth to pay for rehabilitation or just keep them in jails.

The developers don't want to maintain old clients...backward compatibility proved too expensive. Apple proved autoupdate is the way. Browser vendors did the same.

Something tells me that less than 1 percent use the phone like that. Most of them would text, watching various social media crap with nothing related to the class. To use them effectively the teacher should be able to put all the phones in

So the mere mortals should be thankful for the little Apple gives them, right? Small businesses competing with Apple should be just fine as well I guess even if they don't have the same tax advantage.

What about attacks from China once it launches its censored version? I believe censoring alone is not enough to do business in China.

Speculative investments are like gambling. Don't be sorry for Apple. Try FB...they may hit the trillion dollar cap as well..who knows...it's all just speculation.

You can also credit Apple for the companies that will never see the light because Apple had the tax advantage(not to mention some of its abusive practices towards competition/little guy)

Well, you seem to forget that China is a communist country currently lead by someone sworn for life. See how the political landscape changed for Hong Kong to understand what kind of influence it may have in Europe.
