Exactly. I am constantly reminding staff to not put anything potentially libellous or disparaging in emails. And yet they do. Spraying thoughts around with gay abandon. It can get them in trouble.
Corporations might be legal but not everything they do necessarily is. Email is a record, as such is available. You’re basically saying that if a company writes down to do something illegal (e.g. “dump trash in the lake” or “harass our employees”) that shouldn’t be used as evidence.
And the company can still defend its position; no one is saying that an email is conclusive evidence, however it’s evidence nonetheless. If you say that emails are not admissible in court you just created the perfect loophole to organize crimes of all sort. All written communications are admissible in court (depending on circumstances), and all oral communications are admissible in court (usually with the cooperation of a witness or a recording or a memorandum that refers to it etc).
That’s the way it should be. There are YouTube videos, blogs, reviews, MANY MANY ways to find out about Applications. OR you can use duckduckgo if you prefer.
At the time… not true anymore, so Epic is proving that, at some point in the past before they took steps to prevent doing a thing, they were doing a thing. And, reiterating, they’re not doing a thing anymore.
It really is not hard. Just do it with honesty and integrity and be legal in your actions.
no one is accountable for discussing matters (*). One is accountable for crimes.
In reality the fact that they are allowed to complete at all is awesome. Remember most of these companies can’t create their products without the platform and tools that Apple has to create and maintain. The App Store is really an extension of their 1st party app development. It wasn’t initially intended to be used by 3rd parties and Steve Jobs was against it and had to be convinced to even allow it.
So you mean apple back then was way more closed than it is right now? Seems fair, and very apple.
Not my experience. First result is an irrelevant ad, followed by:
That whole ‘these companies should be grateful to Apple’ schtick is getting tired quickly. The relationship between Apple and devs is symbiotic.
It’s a bit chicken and egg. Ones perspective depends on how long one has been around.
That’s if you came to apple for the apps. What if, like me, you came for the security and ecosystem? I also came to apple because I make music and fashion, apple has some of the best products for my particular hobbies. The cameras are better than androids, there’s still FaceTime and iMessage…. I think apple would be A ok without YouTube. Especially seeing as most of the apps you mentioned are still accessible through safari.
It goes both ways. Apple strong armed Wordpress to add a shopping cart. Wordpress went to the press to embarrassed Apple and it worked. All of these companies over reached all the time. If you don't do anything about it, they'll keep over reaching. Apple forced FB to give them a fee if any users wanted to setup a movie night betweens friends. FB didn't want to but Apple forced them. Trust me, none of these companies are on the side of consumers. Don't fall for it. They simply want your money.
Because they advertised the hell out of it and now many mainstream users believe Apple's word. They live and die with Apple.
The camera isn't better. Many have caught up to Apple and surpassed them already. Most of these cameras are so good now, you can't even tell them apart unless you try and pixel peak. News flash, every time someone does a blind camera test, none of the flagship phone wins.
Apple already sells millions of devices already that don’t have apps for Netflix, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram… it’s called macOS
The iPhone would still have Safari and could still log into all of the important stuff, unless those devs decided to block the richest customers in the world from their web portals. Even then, the number one site for most users appears to be Facebook anyway, which also has a web view. So, folks would be annoyed but most would stay where they are AND buy the next iOS device once their iPhone gets old.
