Grand Theft Auto III - The Definitive Edition [iOS]

This might be an accidental price change before pushing an app update that switches to in-app purchases. Try to avoid updating the app once you install it. I'm on a plane for the next 18 hours so you're on your own for this one.

(yes, I'm aware that you can probably bypass that in plentitude of ways, I just hope that activation mechanisms will be abandoned through an OTA whenever the servers stop handling them, but one could dream)

In a recent interview, Sameer Samat, Google’s president of Android ecosystem development, confirmed the company’s plan to merge Chrome OS and Android into a unified platform. It marks the first public acknowledgment of such intentions, following internal discussions revealed in late 2024. This may improve Google's competition with platforms like the iPad and provide more efficient use of engineering resources.

Google has already started technical preparations, adapting Chrome OS to run on components from Android, including a shared Linux kernel and system frameworks. Meanwhile, Android is evolving with enhanced desktop features such as multi-window support and optimized layouts for larger screens. Chrome OS is built on a customized Linux kernel and Gentoo-based tools, and comes with features like full-disk encryption, atomic updates, and read-only partitions.

So we can expect a future where a single operating system seamlessly supports both mobile and PC environments.

BREAKING: Apple Sued Youtuber Jon Prosser for iOS26 Leaks

Apple's complaint outlines what it claims is the series of events that led to the leaks, which centered around a development iPhone in the possession of Ramacciotti's friend and Apple employee Ethan Lipnik. According to Apple, Prosser and Ramacciotti plotted to access Lipnik's phone, acquiring his passcode and then using location-tracking to determine when he "would be gone for an extended period." Prosser reportedly offered financial compensation to Ramacciotti in return for assisting with accessing the development ‌iPhone‌.

Apple says Ramacciotti accessed Lipnik's development ‌iPhone‌ and made a FaceTime call to Prosser, showing off ‌iOS 26‌ running on the development ‌iPhone‌, and that Prosser recorded the call with screen capture tools. Prosser then shared those videos with others and used them to make re-created renders of ‌iOS 26‌ for his videos.

Lipnik's phone contained a "significant amount of additional Apple trade secret information that has not yet been publicly disclosed," and Apple says it does not know how much of that information is in the possession of Prosser and Ramacciotti.

Lipnik's employment with Apple has already been terminated over his failure to follow the company's policies to protect development and unreleased devices and software. Lipnik also failed to disclose the breach to Apple once he learned of it through others who recognized his apartment in the recorded ‌FaceTime‌ call, with Apple learning of the details from an anonymous email.

In order to protect its trade secrets, Apple has filed the lawsuit to request an injunction against further disclosure of Apple's confidential trade secret information and is seeking damages over the misappropriation of them.
