Page can preach all he wants about how he wants to do right by the consumer, but at the end of the day, they're a business just like Apple. They're in this to make money. No one should ever believe that. To those who claim that Google has gi…

It's too early to say that there was no response to this article compared to the furor over labor violations relating to Apple. This article was released on Labor Day, when most people are on vacation. With that said, no one roots for Goliat…

People who think that Apple should license patents and make money are not seeing the point here. Apple's strategy revolves around putting a unique product in the hands of the consumer. Apple tries to set itself apart from competitors products. Lic…

I think people are confusing tax evasion with tax avoidance. If Apple were moving earned profits overseas out of the US, that would be tax evasion, which is illegal. What Apple is doing is refusing to repatriate profits that were earned overseas t…

The decision to increase retail workers' pay wasn't made in a day either. And increasing retail workers' pay is simply smart business. In Apple's higher ups' mind, the retail employees were too valuable to lose to another company. The higher ups d…

So if you choose to buy someone's product, that person now owes you something? If someone in Spain choose to buy a song/app from Apple, that individual chose to buy an Apple product of their own free will. Apple doesn't owe the whole of Spain one …

Steve would have paid a dividend. He wouldn't have had a choice. In terms of shareholder value, Apple's cash hoard was being a drag. Apple was probably earning less than 1% on their cash hoard. If Apple paid a dividend, a shareholder could buy sto…

Apple's fundamentals haven't changed at all. It's just that stocks as a whole aren't an attractive asset class to be parking money in. All the arguments I've been hearing about how Apple's growth isn't sustainable sound like saying, "Eventu…

You people are reading way too much into this. Insiders sell shares all the time to raise cash. For example, if they want to buy a house, they might just sell their shares to get the cash. It means nothing.

A lot of people move to states that have lower tax rates. They undertake all sorts of measures to reduce their taxes as much as possible within the bounds of the law. Outsmarting Uncle Sam has been a national pastime for decades. Many indiv…

For those who want to bash Apple for being greedy, let's not forget that Apple is neither the first corporation to outsource jobs nor is it the only one engaged in it. As for Foxconn, Apple is not the only customer so I fail to understand why they s…
