La Comisión Europea y la jueza del caso Epic vs. Apple han dicho basta. Apple no puede dar más patadas a la la lata. Han determinado que los cambios de Apple para permitir tiendas de terceros en la App Store no son suficientes, calificando su tarifa como abusiva. La estrategia de "cumplimiento malicioso" de Apple para ganar tiempo se ha acabado.Nos hacemos viejos al celebrar el décimo aniversario del Apple Watch, que pasó de ser un dispositivo de comunicación a enfocarse en salud y fitness, consolidándose como un producto clave en la era Tim Cook. Evaluamos las series de Apple TV+, destacando títulos como Silo, Severance y Slow Horses, que mantienen un alto nivel crítico a pesar de un ligero bajón en 2023. Comentamos los rumores sobre una posible colaboración con Intel para fabricar procesadores, lo que reduciría la dependencia de TSMC y mitigaría riesgos geopolíticos. Además, destacamos los desafíos de Apple para trasladar parte de su producción a India, donde China está poniendo trabas para evitar la migración. Aunque la producción en India es más costosa, la diversificación es clave ante la incertidumbre regulatoria y los aranceles en EE.UU.

Willkommen zu einer neuen Folge des Gründer-Podcasts mit Ole und Yannick! In dieser Episode dreht sich alles um den Digital Markets Act und die aktuellen Strafen gegen Tech-Giganten wie Apple und Meta. Die beiden Hosts nehmen euch mit in ihre Diskussionen rund um die Frage, ob die verhängten Strafen wirklich sinnvoll sind, wie Unternehmen mit Regulierung umgehen und was das eigentlich für Konsumenten bedeutet. Außerdem werfen Ole und Yannick einen Blick auf das Zusammenspiel zwischen EU und USA in Sachen Tech-Regulierung, bewerten die Auswirkungen personalisierter Werbung und wie ehrlich Konsumenten bei Umfragen wirklich sind. Natürlich darf auch ein Blick hinter die Kulissen der Preisgestaltung und spannende Anekdoten nicht fehlen.

La Unión Europea ha dado un golpe sobre la mesa multando a dos gigantes del sector: Apple y Meta. ¿La razón? no están cumpliendo con la nueva Ley de Mercados Digitales, conocida como la DMA por sus siglas en inglés (Digital Markets Act), una normativa que busca frenar los abusos de poder de las grandes plataformas digitales. Bianca Vaquero, experta en el tema, comenta sobre este y otros asuntos.

In Folge 258 sprechen die ApfelNerds über die Apple Watch, die 10 Jahre alt geworden ist. Außerdem hat die Wettbewerbskommission der EU hat eine Strafe gegen Apple verhängt, das Robotics Team ist jetzt auch weg von John Giannandrea, Mike Rockwell bringt personelle Veränderungen ins Siri-Team, die NAD kritisiert Apples Apple Intelligence-Werbung, TSMC hat seinen neuen 1,4 nm-Prozess vorgestellt, es gibt (mögliche) Details zu iPadOS 19, es sind weiterhin zwei Vision Pro-Nachfolger in Arbeit und es gibt Updates.

In dieser Woche gibt es mal wieder einen ganzen Stapel an kleineren Tech-News. Wir werfen unter anderem einen Blick auf die Strafen in Millionenhöhe gegen Apple und Meta, schauen uns gemeinsam eine komplett mit KI generierte Plakatkampagne vom WWF an und klären, wer beim ersten Halbmarathon Roboter vs. Menschen gewonnen hat.Links zur EpisodeUnsere Episode in der wir etwas ausführlicher über die elektronische Patientenakte sprechen findet ihr hierDas Posting zur WWF-Kampagne gibt es bei LinkedinUnd die Podcast-Empfehlung ist Mission Klima vom NDR

Wir reden häufig darüber, diesmal haben wir es geschafft: eine kürzere Folge! Das bedeutet nicht, dass wir wenige Themen haben: Ein neues Label für Smartphones soll nach dem Vorbild des Energie-Labels einen Überblick über Reparierbarkeitklasse, Energieeffizienz, Akkulaufzeit, Staub- und Wasserschutzklasse usw. geben und dazu gibt es Update-Garantie. Dann verhängt die EU wegen Verstößen gegen den Digital Markets Act recht milde Strafen gegen Meta und Apple. Auf iPhones wollen die Volksbanken und Raiffeisenbanken im Herbst ihre Banking-App abseits von Apple Pay als Bezahloption und Alternativ-Wallet platzieren, was die EU sicher freuen dürfte. Und alle iPhones für den US-Markt sollen in Zukunft nicht mehr aus China, sondern aus Indien kommen, Beautiful deals. Bei Intel rumpelt es weiter, der neue CEO Lip-Bu Tan möchte das Unternehmen schlanker und effizienter aufstellen. Dazu fliegen nochmal Leute, vor allem das mittlere Management soll davon betroffen sein. Discord hat jetzt auch einen neuen CEO mit dem ehemaligen Activision-Manager Humam Sakhnini, der war da für die Mobile Games Sparte King zustängig. Ein geplanter Börsengang erfreut Investoren, für uns Nutzer verspricht das keine schönen Zeiten. Jetzt viel Spaß mit Folge 254 und direkt im Anschluss (oder auch zwischendrin, I don't judge) könnt ihr gleich noch unser Interview mit Prof. Susanne Gössl anhören.

In this extra episode of The Sound of Economics, Bruegel's Bertin Martens and Fiona M. Scott Morton explain the EU's first fines under the Digital Markets Act, in conversation with Rebecca Christie. Apple and Meta were hit with the penalties on 23 April 2025 in what will be a test case for the European Commission's new mandate to rein in digital gatekeepers. This podcast walks through why the fines were assessed, whether they will be big enough to change the companies' behaviour, and how the EU must manage its regulatory agenda in the middle of a trade war.

Da quando ha fatto la sua prima comparsa sul Pianeta Terra e fino ai giorni nostri, la Natura nei suoi quasi 4 miliardi di anni ha avuto modo di evolversi in continuazione, perfezionarsi e trovare soluzioni sempre più efficienti per adattarsi. Non è un caso che l'uomo studi con particolare attenzione la natura che lo circonda, non solo per comprenderla, ma per trarre ispirazione nella progettazione delle nuove tecnologie. Questa continua ricerca di idee dalla natura è diventata una vera e propria disciplina: la biomimetica (o biomimesi). In questa puntata esploriamo come l'imitazione dei processi biologici e biomeccanici della natura ha ispirato tecnologie rivoluzionarie e come potrebbe influenzare le innovazioni future, dall'intelligenza artificiale alle interfacce cervello-computer.Nella sezione delle notizie parliamo dello scontro tra USA e UE sul Digital Markets Act, delle nuove ricerche sui nanomateriali che verranno condotte sulla Stazione Spaziale Internazionale e delle modifiche alle normative sui veicoli autonomi da parte dell'amministrazione Trump, che sembrano favorire particolarmente Tesla.--Indice--00:00 - Introduzione00:55 - Scontro aperto sul Digital Markets Act (HDBlog.it, Davide Fasoli)02:02 - Sulla ISS nuove ricerche sui nanomateriali (HDBlog.it, Luca Martinelli)03:31 - Gli USA rivedono le regole sui veicoli autonomi (TheVerge.com, Matteo Gallo)05:13 - La Tecnologia che copia la Natura (Luca Martinelli)16:36 - Conclusione--Testo--Leggi la trascrizione: https://www.dentrolatecnologia.it/S7E17#testo--Contatti--• www.dentrolatecnologia.it• Instagram (@dentrolatecnologia)• Telegram (@dentrolatecnologia)• YouTube (@dentrolatecnologia)• redazione@dentrolatecnologia.it--Brani--• Ecstasy by Rabbit Theft• Whatever by Cartoon & Andromedik

Anna Kalinowsky, heise-online-Chefredakteur Dr. Volker Zota und Malte Kirchner sprechen in dieser Ausgabe der #heiseshow unter anderem über folgende Themen: - Taschengeld-Strafe? EU-Kommission verhängt Bußgelder gegen Apple und Meta – Die EU-Kommission hat im Rahmen des Digital Markets Act (DMA) empfindliche Strafen gegen die Tech-Konzerne verhängt. Warum wurden die Unternehmen zur Kasse gebeten? Welche Auswirkungen haben die Strafen auf die Geschäftspraktiken der Konzerne? Und ist dies erst der Anfang einer härteren Gangart der EU gegenüber Big Tech? - (KI-)Agenten unerwünscht: Macht das Beispiel der EU-Kommission Schule? Die EU-Kommission untersagt den Gebrauch von KI-Agenten in ihren eigenen Meetings. Zu den Gründen äußerte sie sich bislang nicht. Ist das Verbot mit Blick auf den Datenschutz sinnvoll? Werden bald weitere dem Beispiel der Kommission folgen? Und was sind überhaupt die Vorteile der Agenten? - Entschlüsselung des Zuschauers: Smart-TV soll Emotionen überwachen – LG plant, in seinen Smart-TVs eine KI-gestützte Emotionserkennung zu implementieren. Was steckt hinter dieser neuen Technologie? Welche Datenschutzbedenken wirft diese Entwicklung auf? Und wie weit darf die Datensammlung im privaten Wohnzimmer gehen? Außerdem wieder mit dabei: ein Nerd-Geburtstag, das WTF der Woche und knifflige Quizfragen.

S&P Futures are displaying a strong move higher this morning. President Trump indicated that he has no plans to remove Fed Chair Jerome Powell from his position. He also indicated that his 145% tariffs on China will come down substantially. There are reports that Trump will meet with Chinese President XI in early May. Comments from Treasury Secretary Bessent were also bullish as he indicated his belief that a trade deal with China can be reached. Trade deals with India and Japan are said to be close. However, these agreements are expected to be broad in scope and light on details. President Trump is expected to sign Executive Orders today on reducing the cost of prescription drugs and also on government efficiency and regulatory reform. This morning the flash PMI data is set to be released before the markets open and the Fed's Beigh Book in the afternoon. TSLA is trading higher this morning after negative earnings release, profits fell by 71%. Musk indicated that he will be cutting back his work at the White House to spend more time on TSLA. EU regulators have fined AAPL & Meta for violations of its Digital Markets Act. After the bell today, IBM, NOW, TSN, CMG & DFS are scheduled to report.

The European Commission has found that Apple breached its anti-steering obligation under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and that Meta breached the DMA obligation to give consumers the choice of a service that uses less of their personal data. Therefore, the Commission has fined Apple and Meta with €500 million and €200 million respectively. The two decisions come after extensive dialogue with the companies concerned allowing them to present in detail their views and arguments. Non-compliance decision on Apple's steering terms Under the DMA, app developers distributing their apps via Apple's App Store should be able to inform customers, free of charge, of alternative offers outside the App Store, steer them to those offers and allow them to make purchases. The Commission found that Apple fails to comply with this obligation. Due to a number of restrictions imposed by Apple, app developers cannot fully benefit from the advantages of alternative distribution channels outside the App Store. Similarly, consumers cannot fully benefit from alternative and cheaper offers as Apple prevents app developers from directly informing consumers of such offers. The company has failed to demonstrate that these restrictions are objectively necessary and proportionate. As part of today's decision, the Commission has ordered Apple to remove the technical and commercial restrictions on steering and to refrain from perpetuating the non-compliant conduct in the future, which includes adopting conduct with an equivalent object or effect. The fine imposed on Apple takes into account the gravity and duration of the non-compliance. The Commission has also closed the investigation on Apple's user choice obligations, thanks to early and proactive engagement by Apple on a compliance solution. You will find more information on these decisions here. Non-compliance decision on Meta's "consent or pay" model Under the DMA, gatekeepers must seek users' consent for combining their personal data between services. Those users who do not consent must have access to a less personalised but equivalent alternative. In November 2023, Meta introduced a binary 'Consent or Pay' advertising model. Under this model, EU users of Facebook and Instagram had a choice between consenting to personal data combination for personalised advertising or paying a monthly subscription for an ad-free service. The Commission found that this model is not compliant with the DMA, as it did not give users the required specific choice to opt for a service that uses less of their personal data but is otherwise equivalent to the 'personalised ads' service. Meta's model also did not allow users to exercise their right to freely consent to the combination of their personal data. In November 2024, after numerous exchanges with the Commission, Meta introduced another version of the free personalised ads model, offering a new option that allegedly uses less personal data to display advertisements. The Commission is currently assessing this new option and continues its dialogue with Meta, requesting the company to provide evidence of the impact that this new ads model has in practice. Without prejudice to this ongoing assessment, today's decision finding non-compliance concerns the time period during which end users in the EU were only offered the binary 'Consent or Pay' option between March 2024, when the DMA obligations became legally binding, and November 2024, when Meta's new ads model was introduced. The fine imposed on Meta also takes into account the gravity and duration of the non-compliance, while noting that today's decisions taken against Apple and Meta are the first non-compliance decisions adopted under the DMA. The Commission has also found that Meta's online intermediation service Facebook Marketplace should no longer be designated under the DMA. The decision follows a request submitted by Meta on 5 March 2024 to reconsider the designation of Marketplace. Following a careful assessment ...

Het geplande topoverleg in Londen, tussen Europa, Oekraïne en Amerika is geannuleerd, omdat de Amerikanen buitenlandminister Marco Rubio niet willen sturen. Dat is tegen het zere been van de Britten: die voelen zich door de Amerikanen diplomatiek voor schut gezet. Ander nieuws uit The Daily Move: Europarlementariër Dirk Gotink van NSC vindt de boetes voor Apple en Meta veel te laag. Beide bedrijven werden vandaag beboet voor het overtreden van de Digital Markets Act. Apple moet 500 miljoen euro betalen, en Meta 200 miljoen. Het is voor het eerst dat bedrijven worden beboet met die wet. President Donald Trump zou overwegen om de importheffingen voor China flink te verlagen. Dat meldt The Wall Street Journal. Trump heeft ook nog gezegd dat Fed-voorzitter Jerome Powell toch mag blijven. In de Tweede Kamer gaat het over het alternatieve pensioenvoorstel van NSC. Grote vraag is: moet iedereen zelf kunnen kiezen of zij volledig overgaan naar het nieuwe stelsel - of toch niet. NSC wil dat regelen en heeft daarvoor ook de steun van PVV, BBB en de SP.

People are designed to produce, create, build, and contribute.

That is just part of the reason that Risa Ryan, CEO and Founder of The UnRetire Group, started The UnRetire Group.The European Union's new competition rules under the Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act are drawing blood from two of America's greatest innovators, Apple and Google.

The EDGE untangles the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) with SEO veterans Mike Blumenthal, Greg Sterling, and David Mihm. This episode reveals how Google's strategic maneuvers in Europe are reshaping the SERP landscape and challenging the status quo in local search. With a strong research effort of the last two years, our guests dissect Google's attempts to comply with the DMA, such as the introduction of the Places Sites Tab, Carousel and the decoupling of the Local Pack from Google Maps. Despite these efforts, user behavior tells a different story—one where Google's new features are largely ignored. It seems the Local Pack is still the go-to destination for users, regardless of these new additions. Meanwhile, the episode exposes an intriguing juxtaposition in the hotels vertical, where booking.com emerges as a formidable player through ad dominance, highlighting a complex dance between market giants. This scenario sparks a discussion on whether Google's self-preferencing tendencies are truly being curtailed or simply rebranded. Join us as we explore how Google's “play nice” strategies may just be a façade amidst ongoing DOJ antitrust pressure. Could this pave a path for diversified regional strategies and fresh opportunities in the digital marketing sphere?

The European Union is set to fine Meta up to $1 billion for violating the Digital Markets Act, expected to come down before next week. The fines come despite Meta's changes of offering consumers the option of paying for an ad-free subscription or less personalized ads. Plus, Oracle is largely seen as the frontrunner to win the bid for TikTok, since Bytedance already relies heavily on Oracle's Texas servers to store customer data. We look at what's at stake and what an actual deal would look like. 

Het is de eerste grote beursgang van het jaar op Wall Street: die van Coreweave. De verwachtingen waren torenhoog, 23 miljard dollar moet het waard worden. Maar of het daar ook aan voldoet... Pessimisten noemen het namelijk een rommel-belegging. Coreweave bouwt de datacenters voor bedrijven die snel hun rekenkracht willen uitbreiden. Maar dat betekent ook dat een paar grote techbedrijven goed zijn voor zo ongeveer de hele omzet. Een formule voor succes, of juist een garantie voor problemen? Dat gaan we deze aflevering voor je uitzoeken. Dan vertellen we je ook hoe president Zelensky doet wat Donald Trump niet kan: Wall Street omhoog helpen. Oekraïne staat namelijk op het punt om een wurgcontract met de VS te tekenen. Verder hebben we het over slap gedrag van de EU. Brussel wil graag ook een wit voetje halen bij Trump en komt hem daarom tegemoet. Met de Digital Markets Act moesten we juist grote techbedrijven onder de duim krijgen. Maar Europa lijkt ineens te buigen. En de beursweek zit erop, dus we verwerken nog even wat er is gebeurd. De week waarin Europa een nieuwe beurskampioen kreeg. Duitse softwaremaker SAP nam de titel van meest waardevolle beursbedrijf van Novo Nordisk over. En de week waarin ook de bankensector hier een mijlpaal bereikte. Voor het eerst in een decennium werd een bank in de eurozone weer meer dan 100 miljard euro waard.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De Europese Unie gaat Meta en Apple lagere boetes onder de Digital Markets Act opleggen dan eerder werd gepland, uit angst voor de reactie van president Donald Trump. Dat vertellen ingewijden tegen de Financial Times. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Trump heeft eerder al laten weten dat hij zal reageren op boetes die hij ziet als een 'vorm van belasting'. Ook zouden boetes voor techbedrijven 'overzeese afpersing' zijn, volgens de Amerikaanse president. Hoewel een DMA-boete kan oplopen tot 10 procent van de wereldwijde omzet van een bedrijf dat in overtreding is, zullen Apple en Meta veel lagere boetes gaan krijgen volgens de ingewijden. Volgens de Europese Commissie zouden zowel Apple als Meta de Digital Markets Act hebben overtreden. In Apples geval draait het om de App Store en de te bepertke mogelijkheid voor ontwikkelaars om naar aanbiedingen buiten de App Store te verwijzen. Bij Meta draait het vooral om de 'betaal of ga akkoord'-regeling die Europese gebruikers eerder dit jaar voorgeschoteld kregen.

Meta AI komt naar Nederland en veertig andere Europese landen, dat heeft Meta aangekondigd. Gebruikers van WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook en Messenger zullen in de komende weken een blauw cirkelicoontje in deze apps zien, waarmee ze Meta AI kunnen gebruiken. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Volgens Meta heeft de uitrol van Meta AI in Europa langer geduurd door complexe Europese regelgeving, zoals de Digital Services Act, de Digital Markets Act en de AI Act. Eerder verzette Meta zich hiertegen, maar nu lijkt het bedrijf toch toe te geven. Opvallend is dat Meta AI ook in WhatsApp-groepen te gebruiken zal zijn. Zo kunnen meerdere deelnemers tegelijkertijd met dezelfde AI-bot praten.

A year ago, Europe's Digital Markets Act—the DMA—went into effect. The European Commission says the purpose of the regulation is to make “digital markets in the EU more contestable and fairer.” In particular, the DMA regulates gatekeepers, the large digital platforms whose position gives them greater leverage over the digital economy. One year in, how has the DMA performed? Do Europeans enjoy more choice and competition? And what are the new politics of the DMA as European regulations are contested by the Trump administration and its supporters in US industry?

Her research focuses on data-driven innovation and its impact on organizations and society. Alaimo co-authored the book Data Rules: Reinventing the Market Economy with Jannis Kallinikos, which MIT Press published in 2024. She also serves as a senior editor of the European Journal of Information Systems. Summary In this episode of Talking About Platforms, Cristina Alaimo discusses her work on platforms as new enterprise forms mediating heterogeneous actors' participation, highlighting the central role of data in transforming social and economic relations. She introduces the concept of "de-centering," which distinguishes platform-based organizations from traditional organizations focused on boundaries, resources, and concentrated knowledge. Platforms, unlike traditional organizations, thrive on the dispersed and heterogeneous participation of actors, recentralizing data to produce value. The discussion explores the cognitive revolution in business and the importance of data as a resource of knowledge, not just economic value. Cristina emphasizes that data is not simply found or given by users but is actively made through the engineering of platform participation. She also touches on the impact of regulatory frameworks, like the EU's Digital Markets Act, on digital platforms, noting that their effect may be limited due to the dynamic nature of the environment and developments in AI. We delve into the complexities of privacy in the data economy, question the concept's operationalization, and advocate for a more specific discussion about citizen rights. Cristina calls for academia to avoid ideological battles and instead focus on understanding how data is produced, who benefits, and the various dimensions of data, urging a more nuanced approach to data economy discussions. Additionally, she highlights the need for a cautious yet flexible approach to regulation, considering the broad impact on knowledge access and societal norms.

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of ‘Discover Daily', we explore groundbreaking developments in AI technology and their far-reaching implications. Leading the headlines is Google's release of Gemini 2.0, introducing three powerful models - Flash, Pro, and Flash-Lite - each tailored for specific use cases and offering enhanced performance capabilities. We also delve into how the EU's Digital Markets Act is reshaping the iOS app landscape, with the controversial release of Hot Tub marking a significant shift in Apple's traditionally strict content policies.Our main story focuses on DeepSeek's revolutionary R1 AI model, which promises to transform the energy sector with its unprecedented efficiency gains. This Chinese startup's innovation has triggered a dramatic sell-off in energy stocks, with major players like Constellation Energy and Vistra experiencing substantial declines. The development challenges previous assumptions about AI's growing energy demands and could potentially reshape the future of data center infrastructure and power consumption patterns.The implications of DeepSeek's breakthrough extend beyond immediate market reactions, potentially accelerating the transition to renewable energy sources and forcing a reassessment of planned energy infrastructure expansions. With current projections suggesting AI-driven data centers could consume up to 12% of U.S. electricity demand by 2028, this efficiency breakthrough could fundamentally alter the trajectory of energy consumption in the tech sector and influence how companies approach their sustainability goals.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/google-s-gemini-2-0-now-availa-.jZH0lMHSSWdnsRf4nHWxwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/first-iphone-porn-app-controve-v6tz6uHVTfu.3v6lWPmeAwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/deepseek-upends-energy-industr-Ce9aHa1nSZyHcFbXWnCTrQ Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

The past two years have seen the EU bring in landmark legislation to curb the power of big tech companies such as Apple, Google and Meta, threatening to break up the companies that do not play by its rules on privacy and competition. But not everyone agrees with its approach. Murad Ahmed speaks to Aura Salla, former lobbyist for Meta and now an MEP in Brussels, who says EU rules will work to rein in Big Tech, and may even harm the development of Europe's own tech industry.Free to read:EU reassesses tech probes into Apple, Google and MetaEurope's rushed attempt to set the rules for AIWhat impact is the Digital Markets Act having?This season of Tech Tonic is presented by Murad Ahmed, and produced by Persis Love.

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Rebecca Christie sits down with MEP Aura Salla and Bruegel Senior Fellow Fiona Scott Morton to discuss the EU's evolving tech regulation landscape. The conversation spans critical issues such as the Digital Markets Act, GDPR enforcement, data sovereignty, and the EU's quest to foster innovation while curbing the dominance of global tech giants. With insights on strategic autonomy, market harmonisation, and the balance between regulation and innovation, the speakers highlight the challenges and opportunities in making the EU a competitive global tech player.

Apple is reportedly facing a fine from the European Union, and it could be a hefty one. It’s the first Big Tech company to be slapped with a financial penalty under the EU’s Digital Markets Act, which went into effect last year. The law, aimed at spurring competition in digital markets, requires Big Tech companies designated as “gatekeepers” to change policies that lock consumers into their products. Like, say, the walled garden of the Apple App Store. EU regulators ruled that Apple violated the DMA by failing to fully support app developers “steering” consumers to alternative marketplaces. It’s a story Matt Binder, a senior tech reporter for Mashable, has been following.
