These ARE verified purchases. You can buy them and just have to pay the reviewer for the purchase (or set the ebook to free for a limited time and let the reviewers download/"buy" the ebook in this timeframe). However, the st

The biggest concern for Apple would be the processing part. The new "Apple Gold" could be favorable not only for cost efficiency but especially for machinability. Classic gold watches need a lot of manual work, as far as I know. T

What if the innards would be upgradable? Or owners could exchange the edition models for a newer model in store paying only a "modest" upgrade fee? I'd think Apple is aware that the edition models don't follow the one to

The rules apply to digital products AND services (e.g. memberships, cloud storage ...). You'd need to physically ship something to avoid the rules, but then, other burdens (import/export/customs/taxes) come in place.

On MacRumors [1], the developer responded in a thread and mentioned that its just him, no big team. So, perhaps he's just overwhelmed with customer queries? That said, Duet works well on my 13" Early 2011 MBP and a iPad Mini Retin

While I agree with a lot of points regarding the weaknesses of the MAS, I doubt there is an exodus in sight. Two reasons: normal users and EU tax laws. 1. I know a lot of Mac users that use the MAS as the only (!) source for their software
