  • French court denies Apple injunction against tax protests

    Ridiculous. No loitering. Are these anarchists just standing there doing nothing?

    Oh BTW, "Apple is known to use elaborate loopholes" is called following the tax laws. It's not Apple's fault the loopholes exist. 
    It almost feels like some sort of candid camera prank where the social experimenter says here is a $100 bill anybody can take for free. Those who decided to take the cash are berated as a-holes by the clueless people who either didn’t know this social experiment was even happening or ignored it and walked by and now they are upset after finding out how dense they were.

    I don’t know French law. In the US a store is private property and the owner can restrict protests on their own property. Is this not true in Francs?
    In the EU if a private company or their private property or website is a place people like a lot, apparently it is magically deemed a public service (like when the EU tried to claim Google cannot charge for ad placements on their website since it is “unfair” against those companies who don’t pay for ads)... and if they don’t like it they can apparently intrude and assault people who choose to try to have a peaceful shopping experience

    Would be cheaper to buy Ireland and withdraw it from the EU. 
    Excellent idea!!!

    I guess they are.  I've only seen 5 in the wild .
    You must live in an impoverished area or something. I’ve never seen more flagship iPhones in the wild after a new release.
