Tame Apple press goes on the attack

The Tame Apple Press is furious after greedy developers dared to question Apple’s generosity in lopping off three per cent from the 30 per cent it takes from them for the privilege of being in its App store.

After being ordered by Dutch regulators to allow developers to opt-out of the App Store payment platform, Apple announced today that it "would reduce its commission by only three per cent" from the 30 per cent commission it typically charges.

To make this money back Apple said it would increase charges for administrative overheads -- such as applying for permission to use a specific API, and maintaining a separate version of the app.

So basically, Apple hopes to get anti-trust authorities off its back by increasing fees in exchange for a minute drop in the cut it takes. The Tame Apple Press thinks that this is a brilliant idea and will result in huge profits for Apple and show those nasty anti-trust watchdogs who is the boss.
