Re:US Supreme Court Snubs Epic Games Legal Battle with Apple on Tuesday January 16, 2024 @09:54AM (#39013884)
The high court’s decision will allow an appeals court ruling go into effect that lets developers direct iPhone users to cheaper purchasing options outside of Apple’s system.

The justices turned away Epic's appeal of a lower court's decision that Apple's App Store policies limiting how software is distributed and paid for do not violate federal antitrust laws. The justices also decided not to hear Apple's appeal of the same decision, which barred certain App Store rules.

If you have recently felt that the Supreme Court seems beholden to someone, you are not wrong. Don McGahn and the law firm Jones Day are the key figures.

Gerrymandering is a big problem and this tool helps convince judges that the map drawn is a biased one. Read the article to see how it works.

A technological revolution has made it harder for politicians to get away with gerrymandering.
Re:Apple will let developers accept payment outside App Store on Thursday August 26, 2021 @09:53PM (#28323454)
This is really big news. Waiting to see some more details. Apparently nothing changes if you decide to take in-app payments but you will be able to take payments outside App Store and avoid the 30% cut Apple takes.
Is it like the Internet in 1995? Time will tell but it has the same potential to change our lives forever; and break government's monopoly on the (fake) money.
Thank you. We got some feedback from readers (make them funny) which we are incorporating. We are working on 6 new titles starting with Archimedes.
I hear you. I am not a big fan of apps either - web is based on open standards and decentralized. But micropayments are a problem on the web. In-app purchases do work. Push notifications do matter. If you are right about the web, how do you explain the rise of apps? Gmail, Facebook, Instagram could easily be web-based but their app versions are far more popular. I think you raise a good point though. I am afraid I don't have all the answers but I do see some reasons as I mentioned earlier.
