    The more default apps the better.

    That means less people using Facebook, Google, ect which data mine and abuse your privacy constantly
    No. We don't need more apps we can't delete. I never use snapchat if this is anything like it it will be of no use to me and I don't want it on my phone. People use those other apps because either the service is better or because they're cross platform and can be used on any device. I swear all you care about is $$. If someone told you Apple could make shit ton of money letting other people put iOS on their hardware you'd be all for it.
    He has all ready said that. In his mind Apple should liscence iOS to manufactures to make crippled versions. iPhone7, iPhone7 plus and iPhone crap (htc) lol

    Believe it or not, some people vote the way they think will benefit society as a whole, not just themselves. Plenty of wealthy people don't think they deserve even more than they already have. Or if you are looking for selfish motivations, Cook may want to repay the party that gave the gay community equal marriage rights
    Hahahahahahaha..haha..hahahaha. That was funny. 

    Leftists vote in their self-interest all the time. They want Big Government to put the chains on them and strip them of their freedom in exchange for 'rights' that aren't rights. Like "free" healthcare, "free" education, etc. To say otherwise is to perpetuate a disgusting lie. 
    I'd vote for free healthcare and free education everything. I'd much rather have the right to not die because I couldn't afford healthcare or the right for me or my children (if I had them) to have the right to have reduced chances in life because the cost of good education is reserved for the rich.

  • US Treasury takes last stab at deterring tax judgment against Apple & Ireland

    I tell you this.

    If the EU charges Apple $19 billion there will be WAR.
    Because if Apple is guilty so is Microsoft, Google, and a ton of other USA companies that used the Double Irish.

    The total taxes paid to the EU would be over $50 billion

    How would USA citizens feel if another country STOLE $50 billion from USA citizens?

    They would go to WAR.  I mean WAR as in tanks, planes, and bombs.

    I hope the EU isn't so stupid to steal $50 billion from USA citizens.
    So what you are saying is:
    If the tax deal is deemed illegal and  all forms of appeal are exhausted thus Apple is faced with a payment demand of $50 billion (it would be nowhere near this but hey let's go with your dreamed up number!)
    The USA would go to war because a private company failed to pay due tax?

    There are a lot of immature Euros on here who don't understand the most rudimentary foundation of business... Whatever local community or city or state decides to do with a company is up to them. To have some arbitrary regulatory body create rules and apply them retroactively is unethical at best, but some Euros insist on cheering on this political stupidity
    Article 107 of the TFEU (formerly 87 of the TEC) is the law that prohibits state aid as incompatible with competitiveness.  It is not being applied retroactively, it's been there for a long time.

    just because the law says it's ok to do this in the USA doesn't mean it's allowed else where. In the EU if all companies have access to the "deal" then it's allowed, if only one company has that deal it's not allowed. Thus the investigation.

    Apple followed LEGAL Tax Laws!!! Apple didn't put the loopholes into the tax code, the politicians did. Now they want to change the rules and steal money from company's. That's exactly what they are doing, Government stealing. Really, it's nothing new. You want to change the rules and close the loopholes, great, the extra taxes taken start at that point forward. I don't have a problem with that. American company's will slowly start to leave where it makes the most sense.
    No the EU is investigating the charge that Apple had a deal that constituted to state aid which was not the same as other companies had access to which contravenes the rules. It's not changing the rules it's looking to see if the rules weren't enforced.
