If only we jam Trump up inside Obama, then we'd finally have both the ying and yang of retarded, self-absorbed candidates in one compact form.

Democrats who see this guy as a pariah, look in the mirror.  You're to blame right along with your Republican friends.   Your team has been whining about corporate's foreign income for years, and created this whole stupid notion as some sort of foil for your union parasite allies.  Trump is now pandering the same idea back to your stupid political base.

9to5 Mac reporting it’s fixed already. Networks go down all the time. Go take a look at http://www.downdetector.com sometime. Some network is always down somewhere, including ALL the big names, so no outraged Apple bashing is called for. Get a life people.

Stuff goes down -- nothing gets 100.00000000000000% uptime for any decent length of time -- but Apple should own up to it when it does go awry.

They do. http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

Some customers should own up to when they try to compensate for their default ignorance, by assuming someone else is to blame.

They don't have contracts in Leprichaun land? What happens when someone breaks an agreement? Flip a sheep to decide the winner?

"My diddly dang iPhone done start working all wacky, and nowz I can't see the pictures, yo!"  

This lawsuit and resulting sympathy highlights another example of a problem easily fixed with simple reading before clumsily poking one's protruding appendages at anything with a blinking light.

The problem with technology becoming more accessible, at some point it crosses the beyond the threshold and becomes easily available to those in the herd that are too stupid to operate it.

What we're witnessing with modern computers is a branch in human evolution.  On one side the continued evolution of man, on the other those who are have become little more than grazing animals memorized by blinking lights.

It's amazing how intuitive Apple has made their software overall, and it's equally amazing the gap in intelligence of those who seem to utterly fail at using it.  Lawyers are merely parasites that depend on and exploit these retards.

Some questions:

Is Apple required to bring that money home to the US?

If Apple could get the same tax rate and benefits in the US that they get in Ireland... would Apple start keeping all their money in the US?

Does anyone wonder why so many companies set up shop in Ireland in the first place?

1. Nope

2. Yes

3. Because the Irish goverment attracted Apple to Ireland as part of a program aimed at bringing more tech jobs to the country and bolstering its economy beyond its predominantly agrarian based exports.  It was a smart move and a good deal for both Ireland,  this fact is often left out because it hurts the social justice warrior dramatization of the story.
