I'm trying to track down the source of this Macintosh concept image. Does anyone recognize it?
I'm not sure if it's from Frog Design. It's not included in any of the widely shared Macintosh concepts. It's also not featured in Hartmut Esslinger's book Design Forward.
Would appreciate any boosts or leads. #Apple #VintageMac #vintageComputing
Meta und Apple beklagen EU-Strafen als ungerecht
500 Millionen für Apple, 200 Millionen für Meta: Die EU-Strafen stoßen den US-Techkonzernen sauer auf. Sie vermuten dahinter einen versteckten Zoll und wollen sich wehren. Beobachter halten die Strafen hingegen für moderat. Von A. Sieb.

Interesting #blog post on #EpicGames today, with how #Apple is violating the law by charging fees for steering users to third-party stores and imposing unfair restrictions
@Vive_Levant 
ou l’ia a mal résumé une notif système d’#Apple.
De quoi devenir barge.

The European Commission has fined #Apple €500m and #Meta €200m for breaking rules on fair competition and user choice, in the first penalties issued under the Digital Markets Act.
A good sign that the #EU is not allowing Trump and Vance to bully it into giving US big tech a pass on #regulation.

Public reminder:
Since the beginning of the year there was a common agreement that when we speak about fees against big tech (like the current EU fees against Apple & Meta) we don't name total numbers in Euro or Dollars anymore. Instead you have to use the "hours of revenue" metric.
So:
10,43 hours of revenue for Apple
14,61 hours of revenue for Meta
For those who like the good old percentages scale that's this amount of annual revenue:
0,17% for Meta
0,12% for Apple

"En toile de fond, cette décision pourrait faire jurisprudence : #Google et #X (ex-Twitter) seraient dans le viseur, selon des sources proches du dossier. Le #DMA, entré en vigueur en mars 2024, entend remettre de l’ordre dans un marché numérique devenu trop dépendant de pratiques verrouillées — et imposer aux “gatekeepers” un changement de paradigme."
