Apple apparently shifting more MacBook orders to Foxconn with no plans for a major update ...
Shame, would have nice to see an update to a keyboard that doesn't clog at the mere sight of dust and doesn't require a whole top case and battery if a key mechanism has broken, or maybe a magsafe connector, that allows you to see if your computer is charging or fully charged from across the room and also doesn't require the right spec USB C cable to charge. A battery indicator is nice, so you don't have to open the screen to see the battery level. I also wouldn't mind a status light, so you can see if the damn thing has actually switched on. Happy memories of actual useful features not sacrificed for "as thin as possible" mindset. -

Apple refuses Irish finance committee meeting for second time
As a UK resident, I am extremely pissed off that Apple makes huge profits in the UK that they don't pay any tax on. Local companies are expected to help pay for the infrastructure, education and lawful society that allows business to work efficiently, while multi-nationals don't want to pay for any of that, just use it all for free. And then have the audacity so whine about "it's all Political crap" when your greed starts catching up with you. -
How Donald Trump's election as U.S. President could affect Apple
"being targeted by the European Commission, looking for ways to grab corporate cash at the expense of those companies' investors and employees" Or in other words, claw back the tax dodged by massive corporations using sweetheart deals in low tax countries. Like the way Ireland gets the tax from profits from the UK. Tim calls this political crap. Well the US just crapped on itself big time on Tuesday.
