    Reading this article left me more and more annoyed with every paragraph. To quote from the article: > Because the boiling point of water depends on altitude, you could take it to a…

    I am just going to flip this argument. Hope this gets my message across eloquently. ------ How should Apple make a return on its investment? Through apps such as Spotify, who don't…

    I am just going to flip this argument to put things in perspective and add a bit of contrast. ----- What is the value again? Playing music? Spotify could just charge for services r…

    I find these kind of arguments to be ridiculous. Apple risked their resources and created the whole ecosystem before Spotify even existed. It's not like Apple put a gun to the head…

    I find this argument kind of ridiculous - yes, app developers (such as Spotify) bring value proposition to Apple's products by being available on the platform. But, apps (such as S…

    Spotify does seem to be in an interesting position where it gets to piggyback on Apple's whole infrastructure and ecosystem without paying Apple anything. That should count for som…

    My main issue with the EU regulators dictating how companies should handle their products is due to the fact that there is plenty of evidence to show that their regulation activiti…

    Statements such as "Stating the simple fact that Apple has the ability to increase their resources is not somehow offensive." is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Plenty of people…

    I simply think that you have poor understandings of boundaries. Setting aside the remarks about Apple vs EU regulators, which, by the way I think are in bad taste, but I won't get …

    IIRC, Nigerian Government depegged their currency with respect to the dollar, which caused their currency to market correct, thus, devaluing itself. Keep me honest, if the above is…

    I'm fully aware of nihilism. I think it's childish. I think we don't know if there a meaning to life and we might never have an answer. If such a meaning exists, I think that human…

    I assure you, it's not. It's one of those things, that is, if you know, you know. If you don't, then you don't. Unfortunately for us, I don't feel good about revealing too much abo…
