There are some real inconsistencies with what the committee claims and what Apple claims in the testimony they released today. In fact Apple said they comply with not only the laws, but also the "spirit of the laws" >Apple complies full

Apple released their testimony today and it specifically addresses this. "Apple wants to make clear to the Subcommittee that the Company does not use its Irish subsidiaries or any other entities to engage in the following tax practices that

Great except for the part where current shareholders' stakes are diluted.

I deleted it after I found out it requires you to have a Google+ account. I guess I shouldn't have had my hopes up considering it's called Hangouts.

Google Finance is definitely not being maintained and I wouldn't be surprised if it's killed.

Absolutely, and the best thing that can happen when a company is repurchasing its shares is for the shares to be as cheap as possible, so as to create the most value for shareholders.

Nope you're incorrect. The shares are repurchased and cancelled which increases the stake of the remaining shareholders in the company.

by cremnob 13y ago
Because when you repurchase shares beneath its intrinsic value it's accretive to shareholder value.

Apple is one of the few companies left where I don't mind them collecting my data, because it's only going to be used for their own products and services.

Facebook doesn't need to fork Android. They're commandeering Android from Google. People using this will be spending time in Facebook's ecosystem, pushing Google's services into the background. And considering that Google doesn't directly p

I don't think you have to worry about it. They aren't going to make radical changes for the sake of tech geeks who are bored if the rest of the customer base likes things the way they are.

Why not have the user decide the first time they launch the browser? They either choose to enable DNT or not.

It's about taking every potential data point they can have about you away from them (and thus the ability to monetize it). I switched to Firefox just the other day after reading that article about Chrome vs Firefox and also because the dev

Why are Elon's defenders hung up on this? It's a red herring. The car performed terribly in cold weather. That's the point. Elon accused Broder of faking the review and it's been clear that was the distraction he wanted from the beginning.

What's odd is making the assumption that all Mac purchasers weren't informed consumers. Your attitude reeks of arrogance and superiority (which seems to be common in the tech community). >Most consumers are relatively uninformed, regard

I hope more people read this. There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding by some people here about the Public Editor (which is actually an ombudsman). That's not going to stop Elon from capitalizing on their ignorance though.

Perhaps. I work in finance, I'm not a programmer or 'hacker' at all. So I constantly feel like an outsider to this community, and especially when stories like this pop-up that really highlight the groupthink.

The divide is between people who have been following this story critically and those that haven't. Most of reddit and many people here have been suggesting he's an oil industry shill that was determined to see the car fail, but they were al

Considering that Elon accused Broder of faking/fabricating the review when he clearly wasn't and that he's focusing on side-stories in order to distract from the fact that the Model S is terrible in cold weather, he's definitely not winning

I didn't buy his explanations when I saw him on CNBC and Bloomberg. The impression I got is that he's whitewashing the review, focusing on how fast he was driving and pointing to another NYT reporter who got 300 miles (and when the anchor p
