Malware-infected Transmission 2.9 app threatened OS X users, stopped by XProtect

EU competition chief denies anti-US bias in investigating tax deals like Apple's
latifbp said:singularity said:Let's try a less dense argument then.
Apple has been accused of getting preferential tax rate from Ireland. This maybe against EU rules. If this is found to be true the money owed (the amount they are all edge to have not paid) gets paid to Ireland and has no connection to the EU per se. The EU commission is ensuring all the countries in the EU comply to the rules.
Therefore nothing to do with tax aid to politicians.
As you are argueing (to me)that the EU shouldn't investigate an allegation that may amount to billions of Euros because some politicians maybe corrupt?

Apple Pay dominates merchant mindshare for contactless payments, survey finds
olivertwist said:
What surprised me the most is that Apple Pay works at many retail, food, and service establishments in Germany and Austria. Yes, you read it right: Germany and Austria! Even Starbucks Coffee in Germany accepted Apple Pay since the day one in October 2014. In Germany, more and more have installed the NFC-enabled card readers integrated with their Point-of-Sale terminals, making card transactions smoother and quicker than before and allowing more widespread use of MasterCard and Visa. ALDI Süd, the stalwart of cheapness, even promoted the new card readers and encouraged the consumers to use contactless payments with both cards. Paying for hamburgers at McDonalds? No problem! A guy filmed the Apple Pay transaction at REWE supermarket in January 2015 (remember that was with iOS 8, which was slower than iOS 9).
In Austria, I have yet come across card reader that does not accept Apple Pay. What an incredible shopping experience!
I certainly hope Apple will add Germany and Austria to its growing list of countries this year.
