At the bar there was a sign saying, "Ask for the WiFi password."
I asked the barman what the WiFi password was and he said, "You have to buy a drink first."
I ordered a drink and asked again and he said, "You have to buy a drink first, no capitals or spaces."

Apple's frankness is rare but not unheard of. Steve Jobs did the same with flash.
One glaring difference- Tim Cook didn't put his name on the press release.
Considering the second most notorious firings in all of Apple history boiled down Scott Forstall not signing the Maps apology letter, I find that odd.

The App Store, Spotify, and Europe’s thriving digital music market:
> Despite that success, and the App Store’s role in making it possible, Spotify pays Apple nothing. That’s because Spotify — like many developers on the App Store — made a choice. Instead of selling subscriptions in their app, they sell them on their website. And Apple doesn’t collect a commission on those purchases.
Interesting play by #Apple.

I had the privilege of growing up in the 60s and 70s - how I wish I could get across how important the feelings of security and optimism were to us then.
Some will say it was just the optimism of youth, or point to the threat of nuclear war that hung over us - similar, perhaps, to climate-ecological breakdown now.
But here's the thing: my family was unskilled working-class, and we had little; I was never really hungry, but I was often cold, my toys were secondhand, etc... But when I was ill the doctor came out to our little terraced house, when I got to university my full grant was the most money I'd ever had, and then I went traveling and working casually around Europe for a year. I was free to live life to the full - because I was safe in the knowledge that if everything went wrong the NHS would pick me up, and the social safety net, the welfare state would provide enough to live on until I got back on my feet.
Most young people in the UK now don't have that feeling of security that bestows freedom; instead they feel they have to get down to the daily grind or they'll be left behind in the rat race. Which is of course just what their wealthy and privileged potential employers want them to feel.
