if microsoft start charging they will loose a lot of users, since most of them are teenagers (13-18) and wont have the money to pay, so there will probably be a big shift over to yahoo / AIM

oh well, yet another stupid move...

I have seen no indication anywhere that MS is going to force people to pay for anything.

I am a member of the premium content beta tester group and the only thing that we have been asked to look at is the premium emoticons, etc.

There is nothing within MSN 7 that suggests that video conversation will go to a pay-per-use model.

I don't know where or what Watcher95 saw but it is not included on any part of Betaplace that I have seen.

Why are some ppl tryin to whip up a storm of hysteria?!?! Blue mountain already offers products for MSN messenger 6.2 AT A COST, granted they are not advertised in the messenger window but they do exist! Why are people runnin around shouting and screaming that MSN 7 will b a paid for service?!?!? I am in no way sticking up for microsoft, but some messages on this board should b treated with great caution!

:angry:

Exactly.

MSN have been offering paid for emoticons for a while now - it is nothing new.

Erm when did i say it wud be a paid for service :s what u are saying is correct im jus saying just incase we have 2 pay for web conferencing or the service it wont be good so i hope this isnt the case for video conferencing.

gawd people, there will always be some patch to get it for free no matter what microsoft does to it. If you dont like that use yahoo messenger, and anyone who pays for emoticons and deluxe display pictures should be shot or something, thats just stupid.

    • 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.
