Apple's Tim Cook warns of 'unintended consequences' in app store antitrust legislation
CNN
Apple CEO Tim Cook blasted regulatory proposals by Congress and in the European Union on Tuesday, arguing that legislation aimed at cracking open the company's app store will hurt user security and privacy.
The remarks show how Apple (AAPL) is bringing out its heaviest hitters in opposing government policies that could let iPhone users install apps from non-official sources.
"We are deeply concerned about regulations that would undermine privacy and security in service of some other aim," Cook said in a speech to the International Association of Privacy Professionals. "Here in Washington and elsewhere, policymakers are taking steps, in the name of competition, that would force Apple to let apps onto iPhone that circumvent the App Store through a process called sideloading."
Researchers are uncovering deeper insights into how the human brain ages and what factors may be tied to successful cognitive aging ((is successful the best word to use? seems like we’ll all do it successfully but for some people it may be healthier or gentler or slower?)), including exercising, avoiding tobacco, speaking a second language or even playing a musical instrument.
