@daringfireball I'm really surprised by the unseriousness of this argument, John. By decrying the "far left" you seem to be saying "I'm a centrist," so let me say first, "me too." The situation in Israel and Gaza is extremely complicated. Books have been, and will continue to be, written about how we got here (wherever "here" is at the time of publication). I disagree with anyone who says the situation is entirely Israel's fault. How can you justify making a turn from there to "these students should be expelled from college" for expressing their beliefs, no matter how misguided and wrong you think they are? That is a stunningly illiberal position. You're essentially endorsing the cancellation, to use the modern parlance, of these students, where they lose their job prospects and educational opportunities. Meanwhile, cancellation is a favored tactic of the "far left" you so ostentatiously call out.
I suppose it's fitting that a commentator whose livelihood depends on staying in Apple's good graces posted such a statement the day after they cancelled The Problem With Jon Stewart over an editorial disagreement about China. Tell me John, if you can: What happened in Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989?
@viticci Wonder looks cool but I do wish they'd do something with pixel art someday. Every time I hear "2D Mario" and then find the same semi-generic 3D artwork I'm like, "heh, alright."

@georgetakei People know evil when they see it, after they get a chance to elect it and choose to do so, and then have a re-election campaign against a reasonable alternative but still choose the evil, but then finally they're like oh, wait, I do not care for evil!
@paul We believe in free markets, and that's why I've come up with an arbitrary price that's way too high for third-party app developers to pay and that will force them to shut down, and knowing that they can't afford it will not lead me to lower the price to an affordable equilibrium point, because that's how free markets work when you're a dick.
