Apple is taking a 30% cut of all sales made in its ap store. The company has banned references to external web sites, like net flix and Defix. Apple also says you can't down load content or digital good that's not from the apple store. This means users have to sign up for an account before they can use it.

Exponent is back, kind of.

Ben and James talk about Apple’s case in front of the Supreme Court, and debate whether the company is acting anti-competitively with its App Store policies.
