Oh no, the sky is falling! : D Corrupt court
known for siding with patent trolls gives Apple a
slap on the wrist for doing nothing wrong.
You fangurls are really stupid. Apple screws you
without vaseline, and you bend over for more.
How do they do that: by making products that people
want and selling them at prices those people are
willing to pay?
Except they don't do that. They make LIMITED hardware
at exorbitant prices knowing that there are enough dumb
people out there willing to buy it as a fashion
statement.
In your limited opinion...
$300 million is a drop in the bucket for a
company that takes in over $18 billion a quarter.
Apple makes enough money in profit to pay this
fine in a couple days. Big deal.
Especially in the light of they don't pay any
taxes.
Bull****.
It's accurate. Apple's taxes are mostly paid elsewhere
and they've been avoiding giving the United States even
a dime. They went to court over it near and after Jobs'
death and Tim Cook was asked point-blank why Apple
avoids paying taxes in the United States. Try to pause
your fanboyism for a day to look it up.
Apple pays a HUGE amount in taxes, and they use legal
means to avoid paying more than they have to.
'It’s the third thing that’s so interesting though.
About this shifting of cash flows and tax debts through
time. Last year Apple made provisions for tax of $8.283
billion (Provision for income taxes 8,283). Which was
indeed 24.2% of their profits declared in that year. Now,
in this trading year they’ve actually paid over $7.682
billion.'

Apple
pays a lot but also avoids paying a lot. To be fair, I
would probably do the same in their position since the
United States have taken it upon themselves to tax the crap
out of corporations to the extent that none of them want to
do business in your country anymore but it's still
unethical for an American company to do so.
Now let's see a cite for your claim.

Your claim was:
'They went to court over it near and after Jobs' death'
A congressional subcommittee hearing is not a court.
And yet Apple received a _court_ order.

Geez, stop being a retarded fanboy.
Whoops, I posted the wrong link there.
One, about what's going on in the United States by Apple:

Turns out they weren't paying their fair share according to the
_court_
No.
The "European Commission" is not a court.
And yet they were still forced to pay back taxes as would be
proscribed by a _court_.
