#Guardian on #Apple EU tax issue. Maybe out of jealousy? Making huge losses even as a big innovator in news sector. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/aug/30/the-guardian-view-on-tax-and-ireland-apple-pay-your-way

It's not a secretive hardware lab if #Facebook allows #CNN to film inside it. Try that with #Apple or #CIA. http://money.cnn.com/2016/08/03/technology/facebook-area-404-hardware-lab/

#Facebook paid $16B for #WhatsApp, anyone silly enough to believe they won't rip value (users and data) out of it. https://blog.whatsapp.com/529/Setting-the-record-straight
