Apple vs the U.S. Congress: Can Apple convince Congress to fix cash repatriation tax laws?
Posted by ryan on May 18th, 2013
Apple has $102 billion in cash overseas. It wants to bring that money back to the U.S. but it doesn’t want to pay the 35% in taxes the U.S. government is demanding. Apple calls it smart business, Congress might end up calling it tax evasion. Who’s right? It’s quite popular for people reporting on Apple’s [...]

Posted by ryan on January 13th, 2013

But standard configurations of MacBooks and iMacs universally came over from China. As noted by Fortune, some of Apple’s new super-slim 21.5-inch iMacs are coming with “Assembled in USA” labels, in standard configurations available off-the-shelf at Apple’s retail stores. [...]

Posted by ryan on November 8th, 2012

Putting this in dollar terms, the value of Apple, as a company, has fallen by nearly $140 billion compared to the September highs. During this 20% drop, Apple’s [...]

Posted by ryan on September 8th, 2011
I’ve always believed there is a market for ruggedized tech. This stands true especially for mobile technology, as anyone that has ever dropped their phone or tablet has ever unfortunately discovered. Thankfully, it’s looking like the day when more of it being available isn’t too far off. Enter the Fujitsu Arrows Tab F-01D (that is [...]
