This whole spectacle has got to be one of the better examples of "be careful what you wish for" I've ever seen. Between Musk's bravado and running his mouth, and the absolute salivating that his detractors were doing whe

Sure, I don't say that you couldn't rephrase without the embedded part and reach the same level of precision, just that one can't simply declare that the center-embedded text had "no benefit". The added precision wa

Only recent generation AirPods have an AirTag embedded in the case. Older models were limited to trying to play a loud sound from the bud if they were out of the case, and IIRC nothing useful for the case itself.

I think you’re misreading this one. I don’t think they’re saying “opening a browser sets it to your default”, they’re saying that when the OS prompts you to select a default / when the user changes the default, it should automatically

Presumably they want to keep a pretty tight grip on what 3rd party app stores are doing. For all the usually assumed control reasons, but also because when some 3rd party App Store becomes a major vector for some malware or another, the hea

It can certainly be less comprehensible, but: 1) No benefit is not in evidence. The article links to another article describing a prior study and gives the following example of a "center-embedded" clause and a replacement [1]. The

And then when Apple adds it to the existing OS functionality demoed at the beginning of the video, we can have a different embodiment of "the problem of macOS", and look forward to articles about how Apple is "sherlocking&quo

I think the problem from Apple's perspective is the assumption they're building this platform to compete with 3rd parties. NFC payments is a perfect example of this, where I think from their perspective it wasn't "built

Credit cards do already skim a percentage off every transaction you make with them and, until very recently and an act of congress, actually did restrict vendors from offering a separate price for cash transactions. They were perhaps not so

On the gripping hand: They already do take that tithing, in the form of the amortized cost of the car over those transactions. Admittedly the amortized cost of your car doesn't scale with your transaction volume or income (baring extra

From the plaintiff's response to this motion linked elsewhere, I'm thinking that Disney is somewhat compelled to file this motion in order to have any shot at arbitration being relevant at all. Their initial response to the lawsui

Not every death is the result of criminal action. At best, you might find some argument for criminally negligent behavior, but that's going to probably be a pretty big reach for the landlord of a 3rd party restaurant in a mall. Crimina

The other side of this coin is maybe if there was less uniformity and less federal law pre-empting state authority, massive multi-state corporations wouldn't have as much power and control. We can take the EPA vs CARB as an instructive
