Moody’s Ratings said Wednesday that Google’s loss in an historic antitrust case was “credit negative” for parent company Alphabet as well as Apple, which the search giant pays tens of billions of dollars a year to be the default search engine in Apple’s Safari browser.

Perpetual whiner Epic Games is, predictably, not happy with Apple’s newly revised App Store plan to comply with the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA). Under Apple’s new policy, proposed today, developers who want to link out to their websites from inside their iOS apps now don’t have to accept Apple’s DMA rules to do so. But those developers will still have to pay Apple, even if they no longer face the Core Technology Fee that comes with Apple’s new DMA rules. In its place, Apple added two new fees — an “Initial Acquisition Fee” and another “Store Services Fee.” The former is a commission of sorts for connecting users with the app through the App Store that applies during the first 12 months, while the latter helps to fund Apple’s App Store operations. It is charged on a 12-month fixed basis, meaning it would apply to those users who continue to make new purchases of digital goods and services through the app.

Epic Games claims Apple’s revised DMA compliance plan is ‘illegal’ and ‘malicious’

Chicago Food King

Living in the area of Wood Dale, I am always on the hunt to try somewhere local and support them. I remember trying Elio Pizza several years ago and I was not really impressed with the food. However, my biggest complaint was the atmosphere created by the employees. My first interaction felt very cliquey, with preferential treatment given to people they knew instead of new customers.

This Popular Italian Restaurant in Addison has lost my business for good—no more Chances.

Homemade chocolate fudge may be one of life's most nostalgic foods. For me, it brings to mind the "individually-wrapped in cellophane" fudge squares that a classmate's mom some times brought to my elementary school classroom to share with all of us for a Halloween or Christmas party. The flavor was about as appetizing as the sentence describing it. And, it was rock hard.
