Epic win: Jury decides Google has illegal monopoly in app store fight

Jump

  • But Epic v. Google turned out to be a very different case. It hinged on secret revenue sharing deals between Google, smartphone makers, and big game developers, ones that Google execs internally believed were designed to keep rival app stores down. It showed that Google was running scared of Epic specifically. And it was all decided by a jury, unlike the Apple ruling.

    • TIL in 1893, the US Supreme Court held 9–0 that the tomato should be classified as a vegetable rather than a fruit in Nix v. Hedden, 149 U.S. 304, for purposes

  • Seemed like a rhetorical question to me, but sure. The technical botanical meaning of vegetable is any plant you can eat safely.

    In this case, if the technical meanings were taken, the fruit rules would take precedence over the vegetable rules.

  • Nah, it's not a fruit under law.

  • If it were a fruit, it would fall under a different section of tariffs. The tariff has rules for rectangles but has an exemption/special case for squares.

    • Is it possible to flash a new OS onto an old iPad 2?

  • Technically it's not "reskin", but I am pretty sure they are required to invoke the system version of WebKit (aka. Safari's JavaScript) since that saves storage space and makes sense. So indeed it won't help.

  • Hmm… maybe they could compile Feenix. Build tools should probably be still available.
