Brazilian antitrust regulator Cade said on Monday that Apple must lift restrictions on payment methods for in-app purchases, among other things, as the watchdog moved to proceed with an investigation into a complaint filed by Latin America ecommerce giant MercadoLibre. Apple in Brazil declined to comment. MercadoLibre did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside normal business hours. MercadoLibre's complaint, filed in 2022 in Brazil and Mexico, accused Apple of imposing a series of restrictions on the distribution of digital goods and in-app purchases, including banning apps from distributing third-party digital goods and services such as movies, music, video games, books and written content. In the complaint, MercadoLibre criticised the California tech giant for requiring developers that offer digital goods or services within apps to use Apple's own payment system and stopping them from redirecting buyers to their websites. Cade ruled that Apple must allow app developers to add tools so customers can buy their services or products outside the app, such as through the use of hyperlinks to external websites.

Donald Trump completed his slate of cabinet secretaries last week in rolling announcements — and hidden in his big reveals could be a message of who he appreciates most. The president-elect relied on six compliments when broadcasting picks for his next administration. Sometimes he was “proud,” other times he was “thrilled,” and, most of the time, he was “pleased.” Perhaps these different phrases provide some insight into Trump’s thinking. Penta Group partnered with to track how many times Trump used certain terms to introduce his Cabinet and staff picks. “There is one final decider and as his statements come out, you can see slight nuances in the language,” Penta CEO Matt McDonald told . “It kind of reminds meof the old Kremlinology of the Cold War, where people were parsing whatever public indicators there were to tell who was up or who was out.” “Pleased” seemed to be his go-to term, with the president-elect saying it 18 times, more than any other term analyzed. This included when he introduced , Mike Huckabee as the US ambassador to Israel, and Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head DOGE. By contrast, he was “very pleased” four times, including when picking to lead Medicare and Medicaid and Dr. Marty Makar to lead the FDA. According to , this superlative praise was reserved for just one administration pick: Scott Bessent. The billionaire, who served as an economic advisor to Trump’s 2024 campaign, was tapped to serve as treasury secretary. Trump said he was “thrilled” to announce two of his nominees: Chris Wright as Secretary of Energy and as Secretary of Health and Human Services. The president-elect was “proud” to announce four nominees, including Dr Janette Nesheiwat as surgeon general and former Congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer as secretary of labor. This term was reserved for just three individuals. Trump was “honored” to tap Congressman Mike Waltz as his national security adviser, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik as UN ambassador, and as secretary of defense. Trump said it was his “great honor” — in lowercase letters — to only one person nominated to serve in his next administration: . She was tapped to serve as his education secretary. Three others, though, received the same introduction but with a capital G and a capital H, perhaps emphasizing just how great his honor actually was. This list includes Matt Gaetz, the first failed nominee. He withdrew his bid to be the attorney general after a barrage of backlash over his . Marco Rubio, who Trump once referred to as was also given the compliment when Trump introduced him as his nominee for secretary of state. Brooke Rollins, Trump’s pick for secretary of agriculture, also received the double-capped praise.

NoneAnother terrible outing from the Cincinnati Bengals ' defense has spurred an adjustment to the 53-man roster. Cincinnati announced Monday that veteran wide receiver Trenton Irwin has been waived and linebacker Shaka Heyward has been signed off the practice squad to take Irwin's roster spot. We have made the following roster moves: - Signed LB Shaka Heyward off the practice squad to the active roster - Waived WR Trenton Irwin : https://t.co/mgawSTRpjB pic.twitter.com/6NUQC24Id7 Why the Bengals cut Trenton Irwin Irwin, who's been with the team since the 2019 season, had fallen down the Bengals' wide receiver depth chart this year. He only played in seven of the team's 12 games and was a healthy scratch this past weekend against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The writing was on the wall for Irwin to lose his roster spot should another player earn one. Isaiah Williams, whom was claimed last month, made his debut Sunday against Pittsburgh and played three snaps on offense while also fielding the team's lone punt return of the afternoon. Williams has essentially taken Irwin's role from him. Now that a practice squad spot has opened up, it would not be surprising at all to see Irwin rejoin the team in that capacity. What Shaka Heyward's role will be Taking Irwin's roster spot is Heyward, a second-year linebacker who's spent the last two season on the practice squad. Heyward made a push for the initial 53-man roster back in August but ultimately lost out to rookie Maema Njongmeta. Heyward is now on the roster to help compensate for Logan Wilson's knee injury. Wilson missed the Steelers game after failing to practice throughout the week , and it's unclear if he'll be able to return next Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys. This ensures the Bengals will have five healthy linebackers available without having to elevate Heyward off the practice squad. The team already used an elevation on Heyward back in Week 11. It's also not out of the equation that Heyward could see playing time with the defense. Germaine Pratt and Akeem Davis-Gaither dramatically underwhelmed against Pittsburgh, and the linebacker position could use new solutions. In short, signing Heyward to the roster instead of waiting until the weekend to elevate him doesn't bode well for Wilson returning this week. It's a great opportunity for Heyward to play in his second-ever regular season game, and for the defense to try out new personnel.
