hurrah
I think this probably reflects the *majority* of the Euro-public's view of Apple . . . seems like so much of the news here, and there, about Apple comes out as sound-bytes, just in order to over-hype readers' interest (usually, at the expense of the common good by so much focus on the negatives of something . . . hence the expression 'no news is good news'....)
GO APPLE!!! GO EUROPE!!! GO PERFECT PRODUCTS!!!
