I read the Bloomberg report and it seems that evidence is already there that is being done.  Now the government is saying the report is inaccurate?  Come on, man.

Because reporters never lie or color their coverage and editors never cook up fanciful narratives for attention? Come on, man!

That I won't argue.  Reporters are probably the most biased people on the planet.  However, if people think for a second that corporations do not lie they're fooling themselves.  Funny how the anti-corporation folks who talk about "greed" and "corporate jets" and "CEO bonuses" are now coming to their defense.

The article is mostly right, but it is made to look like China is doing the spying when in reality it is someone else.

Who do we know that has a history of installing spy chips on computers? Hint: Snowden told us.

you're exactly right.  Now Apple is saying that none of this is happening.  Just me being a cynic here but I think Apple is doing this so that they don't ruffle the feathers of their bread and butter manufacturing in China.  If they angered the Chinese with allegations like this they'd be in a world of hurt.  I really don't know who to believe.

Overpaid CEOs.   Where is the liberal outrage?  It's selective I suppose.  Oh well.  Tim should be able to make billions if he so chooses.  That's 'merica.

ROFL...  Well, now we know where the outrage from the right wing crazies is...   Or, is it terror and desperation as they see their glass house developing cracks?

Oh how soon we forget.  All I heard back when Obama was campaigning was how CEOs were evil.  "Big Oil" CEOs were evil.  Remember the often coined term "corporate jets".  CEOs were constantly being berated by a willing media and the ideology of the Left.  It was wealth envy on steroids.  But, if it's one of their own like Tim Cook then talk of CEO pay all of a sudden gets hush-hushed.  Again....selective outrage.  For me I could care less what a CEO makes.  It makes zero difference to me as I can select who I can and cannot conduct commerce with.  If they make millions good for them.  They are the decision-makers.  They are the ones who take the blows if the stock holders are taking hits.  If you've not been around CEOs you have no idea what they do.  I have and I see the difficulties with making the hard choices that effect people.
