Apple stocks plummet, as Trump threatens 104% tariff on China

European Union proposals could tax Apple and other tech giants between 2 percent and 6 per...
The EU already has a tax based on revenue. It's called VAT (Value Added Tax).
In addition, the European Commission does not have the right to raise taxes. That privilege is - for the time being - reserved to the sovereign treasuries of the EU member states.
This is a case of the EU massively overstepping its competencies and a Commission that, yet again, acts without any democratic mandate.
I'm very glad that the UK has voted to kick it to the kerb. -

UK Apple TV viewers blocked from seeing key football match
This would most likely only affect people who have 'cut the cord' and no longer receive broadcast signals via aerials, satellite or cable and thus think they don't need to pay the mandatory UK TV Licence fee. Since watching any form of live-broadcast TV, however it's delivered, including online, requires a TV licence, most of the people inconvenienced by this will likely not have much of a leg to stand on to complain. -

Iconic 'Trash Can' Mac Pro is now on Apple's vintage products list
I have three Mac Pros. A 2008 one, a 2013 one (the cylindrical one) and a 2019 one. I can't afford an Apple Silicon 2023 one! The 2008 one lives on its side under my desk and is the perfect height to stand my laser printer on out of the way - I stopped using it years ago. The 2013 one works just fine (but it does have vast amounts of added RAM!) and the 2019 one is still going strong, although my daily driver these days is actually an M4 Mac mini with 24GB RAM and it knocks spots off the 2019 Mac Pro in daily usage (although I've had to add a 40Gbps thunderbolt external SSD storage box to it as native storage is a bit small for my needs). That shows just how far Apple has come with the move away from Intel. -

Apple leaders join Sun Valley billionaires' summer camp for 2025
rob53 said:The sad thing is that none of these people actually do the work necessary to make a billion dollars, they simply lead lots of vastly lower paid employees who are the real people who design and build the products these people get the credit for. Sorry Tim Cook, you haven't designed an Apple product and only got your job because Steve Jobs unfortunately died. Of course even Steve wasn't the one who designed the first Apple products, he was the great(est) salesman (not snake-oil salesman) in history. -
