The U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington issued a final ruling Tuesday in Samsung’s suit against Apple.

The panel issued a limited import ban and a cease-and-desist order for AT&T models of the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 3G and iPad 2 3G.....


First off I don’t like Apple for personal reasons. But like Patrick Henry I WILL defend them for their business practices within the law. Frankly I don’t know squat about their Patent Disputes. And perhaps, just perhaps, all of this is totally correct and unbiased.

But it sure looks suspicious to me that certain members of Congress were just lambasting and criticizing Apple for not paying enough TAXES to D.C. by using LEGAL Tax Avoidance measures the Congress-Critters put into the Tax Code. And now this comes around... From out here in the Hinterlands it sure looks like vindictive payback against Apple.

Apple neglected the rules. If you use the tax avoidance measures, you need to pay toll to the congresspeople who put them there.

You think there would have been a peep if Apple was a major Dem campaign contributor?

Agreed. Every agency is now under suspicion. Is this revenge?
