The cracking it was not to do a TV but a box connecting to it.

Samsung stops shipments of 'exploding' Galaxy Note 7 phones

if you use a dodgy cable then you can be in a world of pain. Though if this isn't due to bad chargers/cables then its a massive shot to the foot for Samsung.

EU-imposed Apple Irish tax bill could exceed $21.2B if appeal process fails
but then how could they have faux outrage if they actually read the documents! They might be forced to have informed discussion instead of "EU BAD"gwydion said:
The EC will go back 10 years from the start of the investigation, like always has been, it is right there, in the documents.thewhitefalcon said:The EU will go back as far as they want to in order to stave off collapse. Soon, companies will be paying taxes on the earnings of companies they purchased decades ago.

Followers of DED on Twitter will know that Daniel is, to quote his header info... "I write for AppleInsider & RoughlyDrafted. Currently on a lavish 2 week vacation within America's healthcare system."awilliams87 said:Was Daniel fired from Appleinsider? I'll give this site one more week. If there's no Daniel article, then I'll just have to unfavorite this site
That doesn't sound like the sort of vacation he usually likes to take... Hopefully it all goes well for him.

With $231B in cash, Apple's $14.5B EU tax hit doesn't concern Wall Street
According to the EU commission Apple and Ireland have stolen 13billion euros from the Irish people.sog35 said:marktime said:This is really a non-issue for Apple. Foreign taxes paid are a credit against Apple's US tax liability. Assuming that at some point Apple repatriates its cash to the US, as long as the marginal US tax rate at that time is greater than what the EU is claiming this won't have any impact on Apple's overall tax liability. Apple has never been against repatriating the money, they have been against paying a 35% tax rate when their competitors (Samsung et. al.) get to pay a much lower than the rate. At a 20% rate I'm sure Tim Cook would bring a lot of that cash back to the US.
Otoh, whatever is paid to the EU is tax money that the US won't collect. This is more of a grab by the EU on money that would otherwise end up in the US Treasury. You would think that the US would be a lot more energetic in fighting the EU on this.
Exactly. The only ones getting SCREWED are US Citizens.
The EU is basically stealing $15,000,000,000 from US Citizens.
