On the Guardian I mostly read the "Opinions" section, as to be fair to it, they have Opinion pieces from people of all sides of the political spectrum. They had a great one from a German guy, who is part of a new movement being formed to campaign and make the EU become democratic, so his article was part plea for Britain to stay in, and help fight the anti democratic elements of the EU because it if becomes democratic and answerable to the people, then it will become a great thing.
The bentness of the EU is incredible. Look how they fined Microsoft millions for packaging Internet Explorer with Windows, yet they totally ignore Apple, which has gone well beyond, they control every aspect, and if I understand it right, all software has to come via an app store, thus it is impossible to produce and sell Apple compatible software without paying Apple, totally ridiculous and totally ignored. People are screaming blue murder about Microsofts UMP plans for Windows 10, which would do the same as Apple, nobody could create and sell Windows compatible Software without paying microsoft to use the UMP store - Microsoft however will be forced down, it has happened before, and it will happen again, as if UMP goes ahead and becomes what some software engineers fear, Microsoft will be facing a massive battle from very powerful game companies and others.
Apple's fanbase dont appear to kick off about how locked down and anti competitive Apple are, and the authorities especially the EU don't seem to care, its mental. Yet, I bet if Microsoft attempts in any way to emulate Apples lockdown, the EU will go mad, and begin starting investigations and fining Microsoft millions again.
I suspect the people in the EU who deal with all this are Hipsters brainwashed into Apple ways of thinking, slaves to their Iphones, Ipads and Ipods..
a Journalist went under cover and got a job at an Apple Store in London, and said the Staff genuinely behaved like they had been brainwashed - during the opening of another Store in London, Journalists were trying to interview Staff arriving for work, and scary looking men in Suits would appear, and drag the employees off into the store. Apple's internal Security Group has been compared to the Gestapo for years, and the way they operate is very chilling - and if they are doing the same stunts at offices in the UK, they are likely breaking employment law.
