Tim Cook will give evidence in class action lawsuit alleging collusive hiring practices

silicon valley class action

It’s been a year since we’ve heard any news aboout the allegations of widespread no-hire “gentleman’s agreements” between Silicon Valley’s top companies.

'Final Fantasy: All the Bravest' is Square Enix's first 'true' iOS game — for better or worse

final fantasy all the bravest

Square Enix published mobile games on Apple platforms before that was even really a thing — witness Song Summoner and Crystal Defenders, two of the few notable third-party releases for click wheel iPods — so it's been disappointing to see the Japanese RPG giant's approach to the App Store. The company tends to release straight iOS ports of older games and often charges premium prices for separate iPhone and iPad versions, such as last...
