Former iTunes Engineer Tells Court He Worked To Block Competitors

Posted by timothy on from the our-way-or-the-error-message-way dept.

loftarasa (1066016) writes Yesterday, former engineer Rob Schultz unwillingly testified in court against Apple that he worked on project 'Candy' which 'intended to block 100% of non-iTunes clients' from 2006 to 2007. In his opinion, the work of his team contributed to create 'market dominance' for the iPod. Apple argues, and Schultz agrees, that its intentions were to improve iTunes, not curb competition.

    He'll never be employed to engage in shady illegal practices after throwing his employer under the bus like this.

    It's a good day.
