Sadly, I think we’re not done yet with 2020.
How Long Apple can stand like this?
On Apple’s stance on its App Store policies.
Developers are complaining. The tech press is complaining. Governments are complaining. Now Microsoft is complaining. And Facebook too.
Google? Are users complaining? I don’t see that. Does it make a big difference for Apple?
How long Apple can stand like this?
As I see it, Twitter could easily differentiates itself from Facebook by actually acting on wrong content and locking their owner out of their account. Something Facebook is not doing. twitter.com/craigsilv…
Interesting question. 🤔
The race for the bottom of everything
On Apple’s 30% cut. Again.
We all know where this all goes. Yesterday it was a deal. Today, 30% is way too much. So, let’s fight and try to force Apple to set the cut to 20%. No, 15%. That is way better, right? A few years down the road, a well known developer comes out and complain about 15% being way too much of a cut. Poor guy. Let’s start a fight and bring that down. Apple respond and set it to 10% because they are forced to. And the story continues.
Let’s face the reality. We don’t like to pay for something. We want it all. We know the price of everything but the value of nothing. How do you think China came to be so powerful? How do you think Amazon or Costco is sucking air from small local businesses in our communities? Why do you think our life is full of shitty ads are everywhere? Why do you think we are the product of Google, Facebook? Because we don’t like to pay for something, anything. We want it all free.
There is a pattern. There is a race for the bottom of everything. And I don’t agree in Brent’s views on what would happen if Apple lowers their demand from developers. I certainly don’t believe developers would lower the price of their apps.
Remember what capitalism is all about?
Change my mind.
Smartphones going forward and Zoom going backward
Modern smartphones replaced most if not all specialized tools like camera, microphone, etc. Zoom wanting to sell dedicated screens for meetings would be going backward and… really, who want’s to buy a 27" monitor just for Zoom meetings? daringfireball.net/linked/20…
Fascinating how the Trump administration did exactly the opposite in order to tackle this pandemic crisis. Inside Trump’s Failure: The Rush to Abandon Leadership Role on the Virus - The New York Times
When I talk about this virus to my kids, my recurring message is the fact that this is not like the flu, far from it.
Something fascinating and disturbing about COVID-19 and the US: everything that makes the US what they are is making them weak against this virus. #livefreeordie #againstthefed
