Apple Removing iOS and Mac Apps from Affiliate Program (apple.com)
In a post, Apple announced the following changes: With the launch of the new App Store on both iOS and macOS and their increased methods of app discovery, we will be removing apps from the affiliate program. Starting on October 1st, 2018, commissions for iOS and Mac apps and in-app content will be removed from the program. All other content types (music, movies, books, and TV) remain in the affiliate program. Stephen Hackett, a long time Apple blogger and podcaster, said, "This is not totally surprising after Apple cut the rate for in-app purchases last year. However, this is going to hurt a lot of people in the media ecosystem around Apple." The post includes thoughts of several developers.
This is part 5 of the installment in the series "Apple takes a steaming dump on their partners and affiliates"
Whiter Migrants,
Papa John's.
By cost cutting as much as possible, this is just a follow on from where they can't even bother to put a proper cooling system in their new macbook pros, making them throttle all day.
Never mind the cooling, they can't even put a proper keyboard in their laptops.

You mean "make them throttle just as much as the competition with the fans being half as loud".
Anyway, this will cut the affiliate spam considerably. Whenever you google for some iOS app or a review or whatever you get endless lists of automatically generated or quickly thrown together app lists that are there just for earning 7% of the app's price by making you click through from that page to the app store.
On the other hand this also will hit smaller developers who at least managed to get a small kickback by directing people from their own website to the store. Apple should definitely continue to allow this.
Never mind keyboards, they canâ(TM)t even put a headphone jack in their phones!
I never click the links. I refuse to encourage that kind of behavior. I find the app, then type the name independently into the App Store search field.
Nevermind headphone jacks in iPhones, Slashdot still doesn't support UTF-8 in 2018!

There is no way this is substantial income loss for Apple, affiliate commission was dropped to 2.5% last year, added to that a small percentage of their sales are from affiliates. It seems ignorant to royally screw over some of your biggest fans and cheerleaders. News, review, and download sites have built their entire presence to champion the app store.
Apple is known for closing ecosystems and financially strangling them.
Welcome to the reality distortion field, still working as strong as ever.
Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.

Hey dumbass, it was INTEL that released LYING documentation for the 6-core i9, giving it the SAME TDP as the previous, 4-core i7 used in the 2017 MacBook Pro 15 inch.
So, why would Apple (who may not have even had Engineering Samples of the i9 until WAY late (too late) in the Development Cycle to make such a fundamental change to EVERYTHING that changing the cooling system may have required), be "guilty" of not "bother[ing] to put a proper cooling system in their MacBook Pros, making them throttle all day"???
Oh, and your rant is proven baseless by the fact that Apple was able to make a simple SOFTWARE change and FIX the issue within something like 24 hours.
Nevermind headphone jacks in iPhones, Slashdot still doesn't support UTF-8 in 2018!
Hehe! Touche!!!
Hehe Douche!!!
Funny enough it was a firmware bug, that has already been patched. Turns out the cooling system is adequate after all.
What are they going to do, switch to something else? LOL. Wind-blows perhaps, where they will make significantly less money? Or Lin-sucks, even, where they will make negative a million dollars? Their partners and affiliates stick with Apple because Apple is makes the only platform that can make anyone money. Like it or not, PC losers and freetards.

He didn't FIGURE OUT the problem; he just OBSERVED it.
BIG difference.
This is why I'm migrating to Linux. Apple is greedy. First I built up a thunderbolt jbod.. installed linux. Copied my home directory over form my MAC SSD. .. :)
I'm using the opensource video editors now, open source photo tools. Darkoom and Gimp are great! KDENLIVE
The GIS tools work great. There are a lot of application that I had to jump through hoops to get to work with MacPorts and Brew.
Not anymore.. they just work
I'm building up a Haides Canyon NUC to be my Linux Workstation. Hopefully Kdewnlive and Openshot will evolve to a point where I don't need the Final Cut Pro and Motion. When that happens I'll sell my Mac Pro.
I am done with Apple.
With no financial incentive, I guess we'll be seeing a lot fewer of those "best app" apps (yeah, that's not a typo, I mean those apps on the store whose only function is to help the user find more apps they're too lazy to research themselves). Also maybe fewer "Best Apps of 20xx" fluff piece "news" articles on tech sites.

Thats not true, mine runs turbo boosted all day, it runs with all the gigahertzes so cool I need a space heater to keep warm.
"it was INTEL that released LYING documentation for the 6-core i9, giving it the SAME TDP as the previous, 4-core i7 used in the 2017 MacBook Pro 15 inch."
It's not lying to put the same TDP in the documentation when the SKUs actually have the same TDP.

But obviously they DON'T.
he pointed out that others found it, i didnt say he did.
You also believe in russians too ?

Seriously, nintendo UI
I only had 3 clips under 30 seconds. and just
trying to test cuts/fade in, with a 5 second part took literrally 2-10 mins.
The background used 100% cpu for doing fuck all.
Even code writen in C-64 basic emulated in perl would be faster. WTF do these guys code in, 600 layers of recursive shit in XML ?
Even the shittiest code in COBOL could process XML faster to make a new edit.
Even to delete one video track with only one 5 second clip took MINUTES ++++++
Davinci resolve kicks its ass so easily, seriously, openshot 3/100 if I was a reviewer.

I believe there are Russians, yes; don't you?

Only if by "obviuosly" you mean "contrary to observation". After applying the firmware patch the i9 operates at the published specifications.
