Perhaps we CAN be on-line pals after all, Ragnusen! ;-) Yet again the 'Hosts' (moderators) on the ASC site have rejected my post. :-( It was about this:- https://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlab...macos-backdoor -linked-to-oceanlotus-found/ Here's what was actually sent to me by email:- "We removed your post "New MacOS Backdoor - do YOU know about such things?" because it was nontechnical or off-topic. We understand wanting to share experiences, but these forums are meant for technical questions that can be answered by the community. You can read our submission guidelines he Apple Support Communities - Terms of Use https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5952 We hope you’ll keep using our Support Communities forums. You can find more information about participating he https://discussions.apple.com/community/tutorials = Perhaps Apple software *IS* more vulnerable than Apple wants us to know. David, remove the cross post to rec.photo.digital. All of this crap between the nymshifter, and you is off topic for r.p.d.. If you want to be pals with him, see if you can take it off Usenet. Followup set to c.s.m.s. OK - but I'd like to know why you think 'Backdoors' on a Mac is "crap". Come to c.s.m.s. and discuss it. Followup set to c.s.m.s. -- David B. |

It is my opinion - Apple should pay more tax. it's not a lie. it may not be a lie that you think that, but it is very definitely a lie that they should pay more. you've admitted you take deductions, which means you should pay more taxes than you do. Even an article linked to from Apple's UK site says as much (read the para 'The U.S. rate is 35%. Why is Apple¹s effective rate so much lower?'). because they have very good accountants who understand the tax code much better than you do. |

I wholly accept that you, nospam etc support the current law in this case. I don't. History will prove one of us right ;-) If you want these companies to somehow pay more local taxes, then you would have to change the tax laws Yes, quite. As I said earlier, EU laws are changing soon to capture more tax from the likes of Apple sales. .... and then prices of *every* product and service will rise exponentially ... and then of course the same whiners will be complaining that they have to pay $60 for a small packet of butter.Â* :-\ Business taxes in the end come out of your pocket since you have to pay for their goods and services.

We're all at liberty to do that. Some people didn't like slavery, rape, murder etc - all of which were once legal in the UK, all of which still legal elsewhere. where you can murder someone without any consequences whatsoever? |

Much as I might like to take credit, there is an EU directive tabled to take effect soon. set an example and stop taking deductions on your own tax return, cash out your retirement accounts now (rather than deferring taxes) and also pay full price at stores rather than sale prices. I've already said - I'm a hypocrite. I just scale differently ;-) We're all at liberty to do that.

I shouldn't think you can nowadays, accepted. -- Cheers, Rob |

Indeed. Could happen. or Apple could take less profit ;-) Not going to happen, at least not in any sensible way. Many, mainly smaller, business don't make a big profit now. Assuming the law could be changed in some ridiculous manner to force extra income tax payments in countries where no actual profitable income is being made, then it has to apply to every business ... and those businesses will have to pass on the extra costs by raising prices to every customer, which includes other businesses ... it's a giant insane snowball called "economics". There's an equally stupid example here in New Zealand right now. The morons in Government want to add an extra petrol tax to the price in the city of Auckland (supposedly to pay for efforst to reduce traffic congestion). What they don't seem to understand is that the extra petrol tax will be passed on, so delivery businesses will have to raise prices, then the companies they deliver to will have to raise prices, etc., etc. (Plus the greedy gits in government will be getting extra sales tax on that extra petrol tax!) In the end it's *always* the general public who end up paying the price from their pockets. |
