I am surprised that Apple is supporting "introductory pricing" ... its the scum of any business model and is insulting intelligence ...

oh ya, and then maybe place the buttons NOT in the middle of it ...

I usually like Apple's design approach ... but this remote leaves plenty of room for improvement. Lets start with making it NOT square ...

Quote: The Irish case however is completely different in that the Irish government contravened existing EU law in undercutting fellow member states with favourable tax deals. --- Wrong. When I moved to Ireland (1991) the Irish already had tax laws aimed at persuading companies from the IT sector to set up business there. That was long before the Euro (1995) and long before the European Parliament had any real power. (Back then even smoking was allowed in planes.)The fact is: NOBODY can be blamed, not APPLE, neither the IRISH, nor the European Parliament. Its simply that times are changing .... and so do laws. I doubt that a back-payment will ever be enforced ...
