Who writes code like that? Having code that depends on the specifics of the CPU like the CleanMyMac X example is the very definition of bad coding practices. How embarrassing for them.

Why does he choose to go by Krystof Vasa on the App Store if his web site is Charlie Monroe?

Charlie Monroe Software is the company name.   Charlie Monroe is not the developer’s name.   They are located in the Czech Republic and based on their website are a small family business.  

Maybe they are fans of the musician Charlie Monroe? Who knows why they named their company the way they did.

In Cookette phraseology equality means that some are being treated more equal than others

In your preference: Let’s treat all people the same  

And you get this left part of the picture. Do you really want this? Or you just throwing smart sounding parades out at us?

Good news, it was obvious that the EU were on a money grab and trying to retroactively change the law to do so imho.
I’m not saying Apple and Ireland will ultimately win even though I do not believe for a minute Apple broke the law.
I do believe the EU will more than ever given recent economic events do anything they can get to as much as they can from anywhere they can.

This has been gone over many times, there is no retroactive changing of the law, the law came into force in 1992 (I believe it was Maastricht) and Ireland should have adjusted its tax relationship with Apple at the time.  Just because it has taken a number of years for the case to be brought doesn't mean the law has been changed in any way.  It is Ireland that is accused of breaking EU law, not Apple; Apple was merely the beneficiary.  Also, the EU will not "get" anything much from this -  if Apple and Ireland loses the case then the money held in escrow is payable to the tax authorities in Ireland, not the EU.

Again, this has been covered many times.  Please stop spreading misinformation.

You're the one spreading misinformation, I am afraid. If the money gets credited to Ireland, that is money in the bank for the EU since they will have to send a smaller annual check to the country (Ireland is a net recipient of EU largesse). 

Moreover, if Apple had lost, the long run consequences for Ireland, by making is less competitive as a destination for US tech investment, might have been for more onerous. You're ignoring some basic facts here.
