Apple et cinq éditeurs dont Hachette Livre dans le collimateur de Bruxelles. Bruxelles soupçonne l'existence d'un cartel du livre numérique.
La Commission européenne a annoncé ce mardi avoir ouvert une procédure sur un éventuel cartel du marché du livre numérique en Europe. Le géant Apple, fabricant de l'iPad, et cinq éditeurs internationaux, Hachette Livre (filiale de Lagardère et numéro un français), Harper Collins (News Corp., Etats-Unis), Simon & Schuster (CBS Corp., Etats-Unis), Penguin (Pearson Group, Royaume-Uni) et Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck (qui détient notamment Macmillan, Allemagne) sont donc soupçonnés de pratiques anticoncurrentielles par les autorités européennes.

The object we have, or should have, in teaching science, is not to fill a child's mind with a vast number of facts that may or may not prove useful to him hereafter, but to draw out and exercise his powers of observation, and to show him how to make use of what he observes.... And here the teacher of grammar has a great advantage over the teacher of other sciences, in that the facts he has to call attention to lie ready at hand for every pupil to observe without the use of apparatus of any kind while the use of them also lies within the personal experience of every one.
