Apple and Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) currently take up to a 30% cut of
the revenue from app sales. Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) wants to go even
further: It wants a piece of the action on any kind of content or
subscription sale made through its apps. Developers face a June 30
deadline to get in compliance, after which apps will no longer be
allowed to link to external sites for purchases.

As publicly traded companies, their only obligation is to their
share-holders. I would guess Rich owns zero shares in either company.

There is vast a difference between marketing and and fraud.

The evil in the derivative selling was the lack of adequate disclosure
of the risks, which made any due diligence by the buyers impossible. If
a buyer makes a purchase without adequate due diligence, the buyer bears
the consequences.
A large portion of The disclosure fraud committed was that certain
banking institutions failed to disclose that they were taking a short
position in the very same securities they were selling. They were
selling: insured mortgage backed securities. Technically that is what a
buyer received. The buyers never inquired into strength of the insurance
company backing the securities, and more importantly the value of the
realty securing the obligations.

Come out of your basement and learn the difference.

A Socialist hates Capitalism. Rich is the ultimate profit-hater. He has
coins buried behind the dumpster behind the public housing project at which
he resides.

Kerby routinely resorts to outright lying when he can't come up with
any rational defense for his lunacy.

You are a little late with another usual moronic reply. Did they release you
from your 'treatments' finally? Glad to know that your government-provided
taxpayer funded programs are trying to do something about that 'little
problem' that has you so burdened. Maybe you may stay in The Reality Field a
little longer this time? Doubtful!

Toodles, FishHead!

WTF are you babbling about now? I thought that the Hospital cured those
