intro it's the the beginning of the video it's how it starts ooh
ready for the rest don't ever guess
some more interesting details have come out of the epic games versus apple trial
which kicked off court proceedings on monday it's a case that may determine
the future of the iOS app store or even the epic game store depending on who you
ask james i'm asking you
anyway internal apple emails that were made public as part of the trial reveal
that steve jobs phil schiller and others discussed dropping apple's cut of app
store purchases from 30 to 20 once the store made over 1 billion a
year and they're making over 64 billion now
so uh
other court documents revealed that microsoft may have been inadvertently responsible for getting pc streaming app
shadow banned from the app store when microsoft questioned apple on why shadow
was allowed but xcloud wasn't that's awkward
and finally more details have emerged concerning the massive amount of money
epic has poured into the epic game store the store's first nine months of
operation apparently cost epic 11.6 million dollars in free game giveaways
and exclusive game deals apple's trying to paint epic's lawsuit as a cash grab
since their store still isn't profitable but epic ceo tim sweeney feels confident
that not only will the store be profitable by 2024 he expects it to
account for 35 to 50 percent of the pc
gaming market ambition is can be a
virtue that's true and maybe they'll succeed
assuming apple doesn't win at this trial and tim sweeney isn't forced to follow
tim cook around the apple campus with a sign that reads i lost the battle of the
timbs facebook likes to collect user data we all know this but there are poor
souls out there that aren't hip to the jive so encrypted chat app signal took
it upon themselves to run instagram ads that showed specific users what info
facebook had on them and some of them were pretty unsettling particularly for
the k-pop loving chemical engineer wait who else can see this
k-pop's fine bts obviously facebook wasn't happy with the whole idea so
according to signal facebook rejected the ads and disabled signals account but
according to facebook signal never actually tried to run the ads at all and
the whole thing was just a pr stunt and well yeah i mean it certainly is what it
was but if i believe one of these companies is probably not the one that
has leaked literally everyone's personal information at least once by this point
and maybe more there's still time and if you're not convinced the rtx 3080 ti is
real and launching soon i don't know what will change your mind because the latest leak points to a may 31st release
date and videocards.com also spotted australian and new zealand retail
listings for the card beach days seemingly confirming they'll
have 12 gigs of RAM and will cost anywhere from 1 300 usd to 2200 usd
yikes you know what i might choose of my own volition not to buy this when it
comes out and to instead wait for AMD's rdna 3 gpus to come out next year
because according to a different rumor they could feature performance three
times better than the current Radeon rx 6000 series gpus so i'm going to make
that decision myself not based on any external factors that would influence it
is the price an external factor nope
