The problem though is that it's not just one tax code, it's one federal, fifty states and 100-something foreign countries. You'd have to get some crazy level of international cooperation to really address it fully.

Oh, certainly. Any money made abroad is a lost cause, but anything inside the US might be able to be stomped at the federal level. Is a company doing business in California but existing for Nevada for tax purposes by definition engaged in interstate commerce?
― mh, Monday, 30 April 2012 20:45 (1 year ago) Permalink
A company "doing business" in California will pay tax on the "business" that it does in California, as I understand it, but how that's actually defined is trickier.

i got an iPad 3 for my birthday. Thanks, PP! I wanted one with 4G this time around so I took it to the apple store and of course they forced me to go through a setup tutorial. The dude shows me Dictation and wants me to try it out during which several people, who may or may not have worked there, were thoroughly entertained by the completely incorrect text resulting from my Australian accent and then again by the different but just as wrong text results using my faux american accent (which is really just me talking a lot louder with a twang and lots of rrrrrrrs on the end of words). Why you all laughing at me when its your product fucking up fucking lames

I love that every product on the MacRumors Buyer's Guide is marked as Don't Buy - Updates Soon
On the other hand, GREAT CTHULHU WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO RELEASE THE NEW MACBOOK PRO? MINE IS 5 YEARS OLD AND VERY TIRED. WANT NEW SHINY THING BECAUSE I WORK ON IT AND GENERATES MONEY FOR OTHER COOL THINGS.

It's just that I have to grit teeth until the Ivy Bridge-powered MBPs are released. It's significant enough of an architecture improvement that it's worth the wait. I think HP might have already announced theirs, I'm just waiting for the white smoke to appear on the roof of 1 Infinite Loop.

Man, no one is updating that buyers guide, it doesn't mention the third-gen iPad or iPhone 4s

Cult of Mac do one too, which has been updated:

heard someone say it wouldn't make any sense to update to mountain lion w/o a new top of the line laptop to show it off and vice versa, sounds reasonable imo esp if there's a retina display thing in the works

i'm not sure how much stock i put in that cult of mac guide, not only cause it's terrible from a design standpoint but also when you're telling me the ipod update is 701 DAYS OVERDUE then i start to question your methodology

ipod classic hasn't been updated for a couple of years though. but yeah, updated some actual computers already.

ipod classic is the only device even close to 160 GB, will probably remain on sale until ipod touches/nanos start packing > 128 GB flash
