Apple could have received significant tax reductions from Irish authorities Apple's alleged favorable tax treatment by the Irish government will come under renewed scrutiny Tuesday, when the European Commission publishes its reasons for opening an in-depth investigation into the company's tax affairs. Since June the commission has been investigating whether Apple profited from state aid said to be worth billions of euros through favorable tax treatment from the Irish government. Both the company and the government deny any wrongdoing. The commission will publish its reasons for opening the investigation, and another involving auto maker Fiat, on Tuesday, commission spokesman Antoine Colombani said in an email, declining to provide further details.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More Two scenarios that would make OS X vulnerable to the Shellshock bug Apple's OS X is vulnerable to the Shellshock bug, but it's not that easy for attackers to take advantage of it, according to Intego, which specializes in security software for the operating system. Shellshock is the nickname for a flaw in the Bourne Again Shell, or Bash, which is a command-line shell processor widely present in Unix and Linux systems. The flaw in Bash, which has been around for two decades, could allow an attacker to take complete control of a computer. Apple, which plans to patch the flaw, said most users are fine unless they've tweaked advanced Unix settings. By adjusting those settings, Bash could be exposed to attackers, wrote Derek Erwin of Intego in a blog post. Intego has already seen proof-of-concept exploits for OS X, he wrote.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More Mac and Chromebook sales erode Windows PCs' retail share Macs grabbed more than a quarter of all U.S. consumer personal computer sales at retail in the 10-week stretch between July 4 and Sept. 1. Read More Living with the Moto G (2014): How good can a budget phone be? It's amazing what kind of smartphone experience $180 can buy these days. Let me back up a minute: I'm not talking about $180 on contract with a carrier. When you walk into your favorite carrier's store and plunk down 200 bucks for a phone, you're actually buying a device that costs $600 to $700. They're just selling it to you at a discounted cost up front because you're promising to pay their inflated service rates for a full two years -- which lets them recoup the actual cost of the phone and then some. With the Moto G, you're paying $180 outright -- no contracts, no commitments, no obligations to pay inexplicably high monthly bills for the next 24 months of your life. You can take the phone and use it wherever you want, including at a prepaid carrier that'll charge you as little as $30 to $45 a month, no strings attached.
