Episode 20 - Things

In which we talk about new things! And old things. Also borrowed things, and blue things.

Shownotes:
State of the App Store: Things are good.

App Store pricing discrepancies: change in EU VAT laws seem to have caused weird random things to happen to App Store pricing (RTE.ie)

Bitcoin purchases of things potentially causing problems with the EU VAT laws

App Store refund policy: overuse of refunds is tracked by Apple, and restricted if necessary.

UK surveillance laws may have the potential to block WhatsApp, Snapchat & even iMessage, if it comes to pass. This devolved into a ranty discussion of how politicians are passing ridiculous laws about things that they have no understanding of.

Apple Software quality: Should Apple slow down the rate of the release of new OS versions, to ensure the quality of said releases? Lots and lots of things to read here:
