  1. Right. The appeal is more based on the valuation, or what is a reasonable %, that Apple can charge for their IP/product they’ve created in the App Store and ecosystem. The judge got mad at the flaunting of her rule and essentially zero’ed it out, but realistically there is a value there that needs to be accounted for, and will be appealed to be higher than 0% (free) and lower than 30%.
  2. From what I've read though, Apple has a pretty good appeal case, as Gonzalez Rogers seemed to overeact (due to the disrespect she thought Apple showed to the process) and didn't properly value the IP as she took it to $0. Thoughts there?
  3. TIL about something called Black Dandyism. It's the theme of the 2025 Met Gala but more importantly, it helps to explain why black people like Cam Newton and Russ Westbrook and ASAP Rocky and Andre3000 and countless others would dress in ways that I thought were...interesting. It's not just the aesthetics, it was a statement against marginalization and how they rose above being marginalized and poor and second class citizens. At least that's what I just read. That being said, unless you have some real money, the average black surlyster trying to be a black dandy in their stacy adams and IWC suit are just going to look like cheap old unks.
  4. Seems like the offering the $1000 + free flight is the smartest most sensible and logical thing to come out of the DOTARDs regarding immigration ever that it sounds almost like a Democrat strategy. Undoubtedly it costs more than $1500 or whatever, by mulitples, to expend the manpower and effort to deport people. I'm reminded of when companies take voluntary retirement and severence before laying people off because it's cheaper.
  5. Yea that part is absolutely wild to me.
  6. Dude, Celina is the hot spot believe it or not. My CEO just bought a mansion out there. Lots of folks fleeing Frisco and the aforementioned Plano due to a variety of reasons, but unspoken ones are brown people and cashing out huge on housing investments that have 5x'ed and buying mini mansions in Prosper and increasingly Celina.
  7. This. I think Mansfield has peaked as the up-and-coming and now it's even regressing a bit and being gentrified in some areas. Still solid middle to upper middle class and solidly MAGA country.
  8. Keller ISD board meetings getting serious.
  9. I mean, is there any other way? That's the fun of being in college and living in West Campus once you've done your year in the fraternity/sorority house.
  10. GTA VI was postponed again. Somehow this is the internet's fault.
  11. Because if the roles were reversed, the black dad of the victims criminal rap sheet would be a talking point. I'm in no way, shape or form on the killer's side here (LOL at the swiss army knife equivalency attempted by blacknasty) but let's be honest here with each other.
  12. Harden is having a game!
  13. I keep saying it, but the obvious answer is Matthew McConaughey. He's a blue dog dem He's a known name / trusted name He's a celebrity He's got a best selling book He has administrative experience-ish (UT) Business experience-ish (Salesforce.com) He's a real Texan and not MAGA He's good looking He is well-trained in speech, oration, monologues, giving performances (debates, SOTU, etc.) via acting He's the antidote to Trump in every way and the Bizarro World Trump for the Dems to fight Trump if you look at it.
  14. Just when I think I've lived a long life and am a mature, knowledgable competent adult who understands how the world works and how complex systems and processes interact with each other to form value chains and ultimately businesses, I get hit with this sentence above and realize that I truly am a child wandering into the middle of a movie we call life.
  15. I don't get it (I don't use Outlook so maybe it's an insider joke).
  16. I just went to the website cited and it looks like they are citing this, which seems to be to your point, not the same thing as citizenship:
  17. It was from an article published (or dated at least) 10 days ago: https://thehustle.co/originals/the-economics-of-golden-visas
  18. Saw this and thought, "hey, there are some good deals here if you have some scratch put away". Particularly Portugal.
  19. I had heard there was video evidence. I guess the video evidence is being sequestered in a back room somewhere waiting for the trial? It's amazing everything else will leak but not a video showing the truth one way or another.
  20. And we wonder why we are filled with microplastics. I can smell the BPA.
  21. I mean, I can't even be too upset. The Warriors just have the Rockets number.
  22. Sengun is good but he's not him. Should have let the hot hand FVF shoot.
