Netflix delivers a blow to Apple’s services story by ending in-app subscriptions
Apple is pushing services with in-app subs, but it just lost one of the biggest.
Netflix will no longer offer in-app subscription purchases for users of iOS devices like iPhones and iPads, VentureBeat reports. The change cuts off a substantial amount of revenue for Apple at a time when it is working hard to encourage app developers to adopt in-app subscriptions as a model, and when it depends on its services business to tell a growth story to its shareholders.
Frankly, considering 120 Million, I'm surprised it took this long. Sure it's a PITA to log into the website vs the app to setup payment, but it's mostly a once and done, at least for a few years until your CC expiration date comes along.
The bigger kick is games with in app purchases. Very few people are going to leave the game, visit a website, buy their daily shit, then return to the game when they can just play a different game that doesn't require that monkeying around.
Apple does have those devs over a barrel. -

NASA probe finds a snowman-shaped relic of the early Solar System
"This may be the most primitive object seen by any spacecraft."
After the New Horizons mission zoomed by the then-unknown Ultima Thule object in the outer Solar System early on New Year's Day, the spacecraft began returning data to Earth via a deep-space network. Although only about 1 percent of that data is now on the ground, scientists were able to share some top-line findings on Wednesday.

I saw that. Watched a doctor (on youtube) talking about it and they think it may just have been dry humping. Although the way they're acting they may have been extremely high.

That doesn't necessarily make them sober. Unless they are so devout that they had to dry hump on live TV.

And that's how they all got the herpes!

Actually 90% of humans have herpes (according to Adam Ruins Everything), so it is pretty virulent anyway.

They have some form of herpes. Turns out most herpes don't actually present with any symptoms... so you most likely wouldn't know if you had a strain of it or not.
