Wonder how much they paid Angelos in ''compensation'? I'm sure the Orioles will lose some fans over this...

Oh yeah he is getting some compensation. I think they talked about starting a Sports TV network for the area, profits of which will go toward the Orioles

Not enough funding from the city of Montreal because the team hasn't gotten anywhere in ages? :huh:

Wrong. In 1994 Montreal was going for the world series...Bang...A lock out and plyers were sold one by one as a "fire sale". Since then MLB was doomed in Mtl. Nothing was made to get the team better and so on. Canadian owners may not see the moving of the team a good thing. They will sue MLB, J.Loria, Washington State, Uncle Bud (the one who is president of that league :blink: ) and so on. The s*** will hit the fan of MLB....

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
