hopefully it allows the mistaken judgement in the apple case to be corrected

What was the mistake? Apple doesn't have to pay cash bribes to anyone else to stop them from releasing iOS applications outside of the app store.

i honestly don't even know what we're arguing at this point.

realistically epic winning against google is the funnier outcome with no real downsides, so that's good. personally i think apple losing some battles here would also be funnier than it is bad, so fingers crossed, though i can see the argument that that'll create a bit more of a mess for regular people. not *that* much of a mess though.

Realistically this is going to force Google's cut down in the future, no matter what the specific remedy is.That's a good thing.

Oh yeah it's probably going to get really stupid for a few years, but you're insane if you don't think that this is a positive anti-monopoly action for consumers in the long run.

edit: well, we haven't had any action yet and this is going to get appealed. i'm counting chickens way early here

as a consumer, i am so glad to be free of the tyrannical netflix monopoly and i can now choose from twelve different subscription streaming services, each of which has a monopoly on each of the shows that i want to watch.

If Netflix still had their monopoly it'd cost $100/mo now

why don’t you get your mom an iPhone?

But my mom wants porn, so Steve Jobs told her to buy an Android https://techcrunch.com/2010/04/19/steve-jobs-android-porn/

So you're supposed to have an iPhone to text your family and an Android device to get off?
