Apple discriminating… again!

June 6, 2012June 7, 2012ambsLeave a Comment on Apple discriminating… again!

Yes, yet again, Apple discriminating. Not sure if by their own will, or just because they are stupid. Nevertheless, they got warned, and their action will clarify this point. Now, why? Not sure why (there is a page with that story but I really never read it) but Apple has a trailers page. It is […]
