Apple Defeats $1bn Court Case Alleging Anti-competition

Image
Apple has been found not guilty of engaging in anti-competitive behaviour by a jury in California. The long-running suit focused on Apple's 2006 update to its iTunes software which meant only iPods could play music purchased from the store. Consumers alleged this violated US antitrust laws, and sued for $350m (£222m) in damages. The trial had featured emails sent by Apple founder Steve Jobs before his death in 2012. The class action suit represented as many as 8 million iPod customers and 500 resellers, and could have cost Apple as much as $1bn, as anti-competition damage rewards are automatically tripled under US law. Lawyers representing consumers and electronics retailers argued that Apple used its iTunes software to force buyers to use iPods instead of rival devices between 2006 and 2009. (The software was updated in 2009 to remove the restrictions.)

“The Crimes of Buhari” – By Prof. Wole Soyinka

Image
The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive. History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the- scenes assurances. Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be answered in the public space, not in caucuses of bargaining. In Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change. On the contrary, all evident suggests that this is one individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-ruler that the nation cannot call to order Buhari? Need one remind anyone – was one of the generals who treated a Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa Panel, with unconcealed disdain.

Reasons Behind APC Vice-President Decision - Bola Tinubu

Image
Former Lagos state governor Bola Tinubu has revealed his decisions for stepping out of the race for the APC vice presidential slot. His statement read: I am a Nigerian who loves his country and am hopeful about what it can become. I have seen and conducted myself as a patriot long before I thought of myself as a politician. I shall always walk this line and no other. After all the political calculations are made and the dust of competition has settled, it must be this nation and its people who stand first and foremost. The question becomes whether we stand strong, able to shape ourselves into our best future or will we stand frail and trembling, burdened by the abject failure to surmount the multiple problems confronting us.
