Australian Tax Investigation

Have fun with this. Apple and Adobe, among others, being grilled on price fixing and tax avoidance in Australia. Nice juicy revelations, along with an admission from Apple's Australian head that now allows you to haggle for price reductions in Apple stores. Lovely.

Yet more reasons (as if any were needed) to avoid Apple and its ilk like the plague. I see Microsoft is also in the dock there.

Apple may also be in more trouble with the EU over its dealings with network operators:
