I do not wish to knock their products. SWMBO is addicted to her ipad. It is a real neat product. If I could afford any Apple stuff, I'd possibly buy it.
I do wish to knock their tax policies and their pricing. They pay virtually NO tax in Europe, anywhere. None. De nada. Zero.
They flog stuff for USD 800 that costs them much less than USD 80. All the profits are taken through tax mixing in Holland, and "taxed" in Ireland - which roughly translated means they are not taxed as Ireland have yet to tax any of the big Yank firms for any dollars earnt outside Ireland. From there, the untaxed loot goes to the Caribbean. It might get taxed if they take it in to USA, so they only move it carefully, when it suits them, and not the revenue.
Anyway, my chief gripe is Tax. None of Facebook, google or Apple pay their fair share of taxes, anywhere.
They have zero integrity.
