Yes, I'm thoroughly convinced my colon tumor wasn't cancerous because I'm a regular consumer of red pepper... Have been since 5 years old.

Every statistician, epidemiologist, and the like should be legally required to get a tattoo in a publicly visible place reading Correlation is NOT causation. The font size should be no smaller than 48 points.
That may eliminate some of the more stupid "studies" that are published (but I'm not optimistic).
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Cheery robots may give people the creeps and serious robots may actually ease anxiety depending on how users perceive the robot''s role in their lives, according to an international team of researchers. "All the doors in this spaceship have a cheerful and sunny disposition. It is their pleasure to open for you, and their satisfaction to close again with the knowledge of a job well done."

A team of researchers from universities across the US has identified different fingerprinting techniques that can track users when they use different browsers installed on the same machine. "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together"

Quote: different browsers on the same PC
Hmpf. The ads industry will surely be excited: there are some companies on the market claiming that they can identify users across different devices. Already since a few years. Well, this is university research...

How is it a monopoly?
I can't buy apps for windows or android there, so the only thing they're "monopolising" is access to software that is specifically designed to run on their specific hardware and OS.
That's not a monopoly; it's a specialist shop.
Did some idiot bring the suit because he wants to buy iOS apps from the google play store, or something?

Think of it as trying to buy a car, but there is only one worldwide dealer. No choice of dealers to find a better price.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

No, a monopoly would be if there were only one car manufacturer, or if all manufacturers/vendors were conspiring as one.
If you make a car (or any other product) and you sell it directly to the public (without paying any middlemen), you are simply selling your product, not creating a monopoly.
If people don't want your car (or other product), they have the choice to buy a different car (or other product).
That's kinda nothing whatsoever to do with a monopoly.
Besides, if you want apple apps, you can get them from just about anywhere on the planet. Why should you need other options?

Oh I see what you mean. I didn't think of it that way.

Evidently, since there are no other sanctioned outlets besides the app store to buy apps through, that app store is a monopoly.
