Very interesting read.

Ouch, if that's true then Apple could be facing a *lot* of questions, possibly leading to the whole sticky price-fixing issue that's been annoying us for a while.

*watches space with interest*

So they are mad the apple stores pay less for products than other stores ? Aren't the apple stores owned by apple what difference does it make what they pay they are just moving around their own money. Since when do all stores pay the same for products.

I don't think apple is any more innocent than microsoft but this doesn't make any sense.

it's no the fact that apple stores are getting discounted goods that's the problem... it's the fact thet apple have lied about it from the begining, to us, their distributors, and most of all to their share-holders.

they've been caught in a rather big lie


i just hope someone kicks up an equally large stink about the price-fixing... the sooner the better.
