One of the more interesting aspects of this trial is that the only person deciding is the judge and both sides are motivated to also stuff the record full of anything they might need on appeal, so there is a real lack of narrative focus — PolitiTweet.org

Agree w Adi and Nick - Schiller did a good job today, and Epic failed to figure out what story to tell with him — PolitiTweet.org

We’ll be opening our next set of roles - art director, copy editor, social media manager - soon. Gotta reinforce our publishing team to handle additional reporters! And we are going in batches so we can run a good inclusive process and onboard people well. Spread the word please! — PolitiTweet.org

Would you look at that. Welcome @alexeheath @catiekeck @rjcc @BrandonWidder to The Verge - and lots more growth to come as we close in on 10 years(!) https://t.co/d9wYbgEMe7 https://t.co/o2SeBkC99Q — PolitiTweet.org

It is really very funny to accuse me in particular of being in Comcast’s pocket — PolitiTweet.org

@ayon062003 There's nothing between now and the final version (due this summer) that's gonna stop trees from being a showstopper — PolitiTweet.org

This thread is such a good example of the realities of Starlink right now and how incredibly helpful and creative the beta test user community is https://t.co/plZL5yRMAJ — PolitiTweet.org

@cmcfadden Oh, I have seen the briefings — PolitiTweet.org

@saschasegan I’d buy this argument except *looks around* — PolitiTweet.org

They’re all going to try and compete with like AWS or something next, don’t ever underestimate how foolishly American telecoms will chase doing anything but laying fiber and trying to improve service and lower prices — PolitiTweet.org

Btw I truly, sincerely love that Apple pushed a music quality update that hardly any of its hardware supports. Create the marketplace you want to see in the world, Apple Music team! — PolitiTweet.org

@JasonAten If only the people at Apple knew the people in charge of setting App Store rates and terms — PolitiTweet.org

@JasonAten Tons of analogues, though: Keurig and K-Cups. Razors and blades. Lots of biz models where initial purchase is a loss-leader to recurring high margin purchase. Here is our best headline ever https://t.co/SxM9xdla6j — PolitiTweet.org

Spotify chief legal officer notes that Apple is making opposite arguments about how much control it has over apps in two different antitrust cases -> — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@mattdemonte Yes — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@drbarnard That is not what I mean at all -- Apple's view is that it's control of software experiences and commerce extends into third party apps. Not "store part," generically — PolitiTweet.org

@drbarnard Compete! I happily use Apple Pay when I shop on the web because it is easier and faster. I am sure those merchants are happy about the higher conversion rates as well — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

Again, Apple keeps thinking of what happens *inside third-party apps* as part of *Apple's store*. If this trial has accomplished anything it is making that crystal clear. — PolitiTweet.org

Even the tiniest whiff of regulatory pressure in the absence of competition leads to rapid change — PolitiTweet.org

This is such a weird justification considering Apple doesn't exactly make it easy to get App Store refunds — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing is funnier than giant companies insisting that they have competition. At any moment Microsoft could shatter the iPhone with a revamped Windows Phone! — PolitiTweet.org
