In other news, BT has just announced an on-going and profitable deal for free advertising on Google's search pages and its expansive Android platform.

Intel hasn't been able to keep pace, just like PowerPC and before them M68k, with Apple's developments. The x86 architecture is a huge bag of legacy workarounds, and ARM has provided a much-needed basis for playform development. Great work, Apple!

Tim Cook has only expressed enthusiasm, yet refuses to say whether the county's name will be changed to iReland or not.

Ad agency execs should be penalised for damaging Apple's reputation.
