"Now if Spotify were to be banned from the AppStore, how else would you receive its service?" The Spotify Web Player works perfectly fine on iPhone's mobile Safari. No, it's not a native app, but it exists as an alternat

That's disingenuous. How well would it scale for a musician to personally handle depositing checks from millions of fans? There is a very good reason that many musicians become involved with labels, promoters, distributors, etc., which

If Apple blocked fart apps of third-party developers for the sake of... I don't know what, quality or decency, then people would complain Apple are being censors. Regarding Shoemaker, maybe Apple hired him to direct the App Store because he

No it is not. The status quo is that no one has yet made any binding decisions, and the telecom operators will try to get away with what they can until the FCC slaps them down. Google just succeeded in getting Verizon to agree to net neutr

Android might be growing faster than iPhone, but how does that directly benefit Google? Apple makes money for every iPhone sold, but Android phones are manufactured and sold by other companies than Google. I thought Google gave away the O
