The reality is that for as long as people believe that there's some plausible 'get rich quick' by attacking a target with "deep pockets", Apple will be targeted for as long as they're perceived to have deep pockets. For an illustration, consider the alledgedly "big stink" that New York politicians have made this week in regards to familes of deceased military being supposedly "Ripped Off" by some Life Insuarnce companies. The claim is that instead of only mailing out a single lump sum check, they also offer beneficiaries the option of opting for a checkbook (which they can cash out 100% at any time). The reason for the supposed outrage is... * that these 'checking' accounts are earning very low interest; --> but compared to a lump sum check, which earns ZERO interest = Huh? * that these 'accounts' aren't FDIC insured; --> but they are insured...by the State (not FDIC), and at twice the FDIC's max ($500K vs $250K). * that the cash being held for payment of these checks isn't in a separate dedicated fund; --> but since its the same fund that the 'lump sum' checks come out of, what difference does it make? Of course, what the Politicians have conveniently neglected to mention is that these products are heavily regulated by the Government and can't be offered without prior approval by State regulators; --> yes, this means that State Regulators have previously and explicitly OK'ed them. So perhaps the outraged NY Politicians should redirect their angst...at their own State's Division of Banking & Insurance? How ironic. Feel free to monitor this situation to see if it ever registers with the Media that they've been duped, and missed the real story: a politician blaming an outside entity for a failing of his own State's making. -hh
