Thanks for the link. I can't find the link to the WWDC presentation, but it was about the introduction of the same multi touch system he talked about in the talk you mentioned.

I watched Andy's presentation at one WWDC (probably 2010) and left thinking "This fella is really something".

The actual trial is not gonna happen any time soon, this is only for an emergency injunction to stop Apple from cutting Epic access to Apple Development tools. Watching the whole thing it's likely Fortnite will be off the App Store for

Well, that only happens if Apple is deemed a monopoly. A non-monopoly can do whatever it wants with its store. It will take years for anything to happen, look how long it took Microsoft back in the 90s.

Apple likes control, that's it really.

I do agree and I want the App Store to change, I personally have been rejected many times for random reasons by Apple. But we must be pragmatic and realize users don't care, and as long as Apple can sell iPhone and services to users, t

I'm simply replying to GP's point about the legality of Apple's action. Until a court found Apple's action is against the laws, or new laws are written to make it so, Apple is free to operate the store as is. Tim Cook ta

Because the gov should not control what a private business could do unless it's against the laws? The debate is whether Apple is a monopoly, until we conclude that Apple should be able to run their store as they see fit. Personally I w

All at the same time? Yeah. One app at a time? Just a chance for their competitors to gain ground. And I would bet anything all the companies you listed would do the same thing if they were in Apple’s position.

You can also buy vbucks outside of the App Store and use them on your iOS devices. I’m not sure what’s the distinction here.

I have sold apps on the App Store for a decade now, and I have to admit I did believe the original tweet. I was going to go through the financial reports during the weekend to verify, but the initial reaction was “of course they would do th

No way it would drop 75%, the exchange would halt the trading for that particular stock.

You gotta see it from the other sides too. Vietnam had a strong standing army and took over a sovereign country, not that they had many choices, but that made the whole South East Asia uncomfortable. Who would be next? Thailand? Malaysia? S

Vietnam for the most part stopped the anti-America propaganda in the nineties. Sure, everyone learns about the American war in the history books, but they're also exposed to the huge amount of movies, tv shows and music from America. V

The exploit was public, but obfuscated to make it harder for bad actors to make use of. Apple likely didn't need help to identify the vulnerability, but I'm sure they welcomed it.

Not a lot of people are going to order this machine and return for giggles, so I guess the standard return policy applies, 14 days very few questions asked.

I'd say they make it a priority to keep people from tampering with their code, and maybe maintaining the platform's integrity. They even ban people who use tweak on jailbroken iPhone/Android. I found these articles about avoi

I can see how you view Amazon that way but Microsoft is a money printing machine with real profit, and its PE is not unreasonable.

I’m not sure if it’s solved. I used to use the UK plug which always has 3 pins, short or long, and I still get that sometimes.

Maybe they don’t even have a light sensor? There would be no light down there whatsoever so it would make sense to eliminate that part to conserve energy.

The problem is some customers received the pizza cold, and instead of blaming DoorDash, they blamed the restaurant. It's very misleading when DoorDash resell a product and pretend like the restaurant is actively participating in that p

I think that's because during a crisis people flock to USD for safety, now that it seems to be under control, people are selling those USD again.
