Having a right is not the same as being right. If you want to drive on such roads to avoid traffic, it's perfectly fine for me to park a garbage truck in the middle of the road and have my buddy bring his up behind you. It's a public road, after all, and there's nothing you can do about it.
This makes me glad I use a phone made by a company that puts me before the developer. I have never given camera or mic permissions to the Facebook app, and I don't intend to do so now.
Microsoft has never forced you to provide your name or any other identifying information to them. If you never had an install of Windows, you'd never be prompted to upgrade. In other words, exactly the same as Facebook, from the perspective of your personal interaction with them.
The Y Combinator experiment is stupid and useless. Only the most stupid of idiots would change their employment situation in response to a temporary monthly stipend. The smartest will take every penny and save/invest it. The stupid will spend it all on crap. The average will save some and spend some. The outcome of the experiment is so obvious that Y Combinator is literally wasting its money. I guess they will probably finagle a tax deduction out of it, so there's that.
Your conclusion does not follow from the premises. Your logic is faulty.
If X years ago, there were 100 incidents, of which 10 are public knowledge, and in year X+40 there are 90 incidents in which you hear about 40, it does not mean that there was actually the same or greater number of incidents.
If by "rewrite" you mean "spend 5 minutes using the built-in Xcode wizard", I guess just about the entire world. It's a shame you choose to be a degenerate shit.
Discontinue? They open-sourced the standard library, not to mention the compiler. If someone wants to use it, they can, no matter what Apple does with it.
Not everyone is a lazy shit. It takes about 5 minutes to update a moderately-sized code base from 2.2 to 3.0 syntax. Xcode provides a built-in tool to do it for you, and you just have to fix up the few cases it doesn't find on its own. It's really trivial for anyone who isn't a spoon-fed piece of dirt.
But that's not how market share works. It's just a measure of what percentage of the market you have. It doesn't matter what the value of the market is. If there are 1,000,000 smart phones out there and your platform is running on 500,000, you have 50% market share. It doesn't matter if the devices running your platform cost more or less than the other platforms' devices.
My plan gives me 20GB/month, with rate limiting, not overage fees, after that. It also includes free international calling to over 70 countries, 2 extra incoming numbers from the countries of my choice (to facilitate extra-nationals calling me on what is to them a local number), unlimited local SMS and a second local number I can give out to people I don't care about. And I pay about $26 USD/month.
Glad I don't live in a first-world country such as the US or Canada.
Not that it particularly bothers me, but Apple routinely provides information from its servers in response to Government requests. Even in the recent case where Apple didn't have to decrypt the phone, the only reason they couldn't provide iCloud data is because the FBI was stupid enough to change the password themselves. (Why they didn't know the password has been left unsaid.)

You deserve to have 3 gallons of McDonalds coffee poured over your naked body.
You should have your limbs removed from your body, joint by joint, and your bleeding torso should be tossed to the dogs.
Unfortunately, we can't all get what we want, eh?

But ignorant poster!
The term you wanted is "Free Market". Capitalism speaks about who owns the means of production. It doesn't describe a market at all.
What's the difference between sand an app that shows pictures of sand?
Your question makes as much sense as mine. i.e. none.
I find Uber's behavior to be totally expected, and not ironic in the least. Hypocritical, perhaps. Ironic? Not even a little bit.
Yeah, because everyone knows tech doesn't change hardly at all in 2 years.

That makes you an illogical and biased idiot.
And the US has over 300 million. Math is not something with which UBI proponents have much experience.
100 families in a population of >400K? It's not going to prove a thing.

Apple adopted Objective-C in the late 1990s (first public release was with OS X in 2000). I don't think they'll drop Swift all that quickly.
Apparently you are predominantly ignorant, and you prefer to remain that way. Good for you.

No. The whole POINT [sic] of the Nexus line has been to provide a platform that Google controls. Now Google is going to exert more control.

2) Smartphone adoption's growth is slowing, while Android increases marketshare despite a shrinking average selling price.
Wouldn't one expect market share to increase because of, note despite, a shrinking average selling price?
(I know, correlation does not equal causation, but to assume the inverse seems ridiculous.)
