The publishers came to Apple in desperation for an alternative to Amazon, who was the monopolist depressing book prices, hurting writers and publishers, pretty much the same issues as Spotify and music.

Apple spokesperson:

"Apple did not conspire to fix ebook pricing and this ruling does nothing to change the facts. We are disappointed the Court does not recognize the innovation and choice the iBooks Store brought for consumers. While we want to put this behind us, the case is about principles and values. We know we did nothing wrong back in 2010 and are assessing next steps."

Microsoft braces for more job cuts


The most recent headcount on Microsoft's web site is from June 2014, lists 128,000 employees; others estimate that current employee count is at about 118,000, which still does not represent a net loss of 18,000 jobs. That's probably because, much to Wall Street's chagrin, Microsoft kept hiring in strategic areas, while culling people from less, um strategic areas.

Microsoft had no comment for this story.
