The funny thing is, when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s here in Denmark, we admired the United States and now we just shake our heads in amazement at how a country can fall so far back into ignorance and stupidity.

I hope that the commisioner who takes over from  Margrethe Vestager, is just as tuff, or even tuffer, multinationals needs to be kept on a short leash. I don't like Vestager's political positions and vould never vote for her or her party here in Denmark, but I agree wholeheartedly in that multinationals have to pay taxes where they earn the money, just like you and me, not where their greed lets them get away cheapest, like the deal between Ireland (which I blame as much as Apple) and Apple.

No - nobody forces anybody to buy Apple products!

Well, this European iPad user won't touch the third-party app storefronts, even with a 10 meter asbestos pole - if I wanted third-party app storefronts I would have gotten an Android tablet, and not letting banking apps etc. near it!

I find Wolfs a rather standard Hollywood movie, pretty mediocre and not an experience to write home about at alll. Where Apple TV+ shines, is the series. Slow Horses, Bad Monkey and Masters of the Air are excellent examples of the quality, that at least matches the competition.

EU Citizen here, I trust Apples AppStore and won't be installing any other. As for Tim Sweeney and Epic store, I wouldn't trust any of them any longer than I could throw them!

I really like Apple, and I really hope they loose this court case. In my opinion taxes have to be payed where the money are earned, so the same rules for multinational corporations as for you and me!

It doesn't matter to me in the slightest, I don't use and never will use subscription software. I'll happily buy a license for software I use, but I won't pay an ongoing software subscription.

The really funny thing is, that apparently a lot of US Americans, including The Orange Ogre, don't understand that tariffs (in reality import tax) are payed by the US Americans themselves. As for TSMC, the only effect of tariffs will be punishing Apple, and thereby their US American customers, directly - Apple can't just find another supplier for A- and M-series SOCs, so in principle Apple will be paying the burden of tariffs and thereby their US American customers
