"Back in April 2012, the U.S. Justice Department filed an antitrust
lawsuit against Apple and a number of publishers for allegedly
colluding to raise the price of e-books on the iBookstore. As part of
its investigation into Apple's actions, the Justice Department
collected evidence which it claims demonstrates that Apple was the
'ringmaster' in a price fixing conspiracy. Specifically, the Justice
Department claims that Apple wielded its power in the mobile app
market to coerce publishers to agree to Apple's terms for iBookstore
pricing."

Religion is based ... mainly upon fear ... fear of the mysterious,
fear of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and
therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand in
hand ... . My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard
it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to
the human race.
