"I am not ultra-ultra-conservative on every issue. I actually support gay marriage."

"...There are a lot of, maybe, conservatives out there who are talking about gay marriage and not necessarily with someone who wants to have gay marriage or has been in a gay marriage. You know, I had Melissa Etheridge over, we had dinner, we talked for hours about gay marriage, and I would really challenge people: Get out there. Instead of just talking about it and hating on it, actually talk to someone who’s loved someone else and have the conversation about what can be done…"

The Mexican Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that each of the country’s 31 states must recognize same-sex marriages registered in Mexico City, potentially giving gay and lesbian couples full matrimonial rights nationwide.

While the court made it clear that state governments were not obligated to enact same-sex marriage laws of their own, it did require them to recognize the legality of such marriages performed in Mexico City.

“What’s going to happen to a same-sex couple, who marry in Mexico City, when they cross the border to another state," asked Justice Arturo Zaldívar, who voted with the majority, during Tuesday’s discussions. “Does this marriage disappear? They go on vacation and they’re no longer married?”

The court decision leaves uncertainty about which marital rights must be recognized by state governments. But Arturo Pueblita Fernández, a constitutional law professor at the Ibero-American University in Mexico City, said that fundamental spousal rights would apply to same-sex couples across the country, including alimony payments, inheritance rights and the coverage of spouses by the federal social security system, which provides health and pension benefits to most of Mexico’s working population.

Uh oh...Apple...

D'après les informations du New York Post, la Commission européenne, gendarme de la concurrence dans l'Union, et la Federal trade commission (FTC), son homologue américain, devraient mener une enquête commune sur les blocages imposés par Apple sur ses téléphones iPhone et ses tablettes iPad.

Apple a notamment bloqué les applications basées sur Flash d'Adobe, en modifiant les conditions d'utilisation de sa plate-forme de développement ; Adobe avait déposé une plainte auprès de la FTC. L'entreprise a également sévèrement limité les possibilités pour des tiers de diffuser des publicités sur ses plates-formes. Ni la FTC, ni la Commission européenne n'ont souhaité confirmer ou infirmer les informations du New York Post.

Apple fait également l'objet d'une deuxième enquête aux Etats-Unis, portant sur un autre soupçon d'abus de position dominante, dans le secteur de la musique. Apple, qui domine largement les ventes de musique numérique aux Etats-Unis avec deux titres vendus sur trois, est suspecté d'avoir fait pression sur des maisons de disque pour qu'elles refusent des accords avec son concurrent Amazon, les menaçant de rerprésailles commerciales sur sa plate-forme iTunes.

Les deux enquêtes devraient durer plusieurs mois. La FTC comme la Commission européenne peuvent infliger d'importantes amendes. Intel ou Microsoft ont ainsi été condamnés par le passé à des pénalités pouvant dépasser le milliard d'euros.
