Btw only recently has the inq warmed up to Linux, they've been describing it as a hobby horse OS for years.

And 'jobs mob' OSX is just a frenzy for the fanbois...

There are three sorts of lies: lies, d****d lies, and statistics.

Apple will sort out EU

Jobs confident he can cut a deal

By Nick Farrell: Wednesday, 09 January 2008, 9:19 AM

TOYMAKER Steve Jobs thinks he will have the European Commission agreeing with him over charges that iTunes breaks EU rules.

The row is over the fact that Jobs thinks it is fair that punters in Blighty to pay more for their music than other EU countries.

So far no one is saying what the deal involves. It is unlikely that Jobs will admit that he was wrong to treat any of his customers badly and it is equally unlikley that the EU will let him disobey one of the foundation stones of its existence.

Despite that, the people who comment on the ballet of the powers that be seem to think a deal is close.

The wheels have turned slowly. It all dates to 2005, when Which? complained that iItunes stores in France and Germany charged 99 euro cents ($US1.45), while Britons must pay 79 pence ($US1.56), instead of letting all Europeans buy at one store.

No one has commented officially, but we are expecting an announcement any day now.
