Apple's New Tax-Dodging App

iRS DEPT.

Apple is known for being amazing innovators in the field of electronics — but apparently they’re also ingeniously inventive when it comes to avoiding paying taxes! It was recently revealed that the company established an elaborate system of shell companies in various countries that let them avoid paying TENS OF BILLIONS of dollars in taxes! Stiffing Uncle Sam? There’s an app for that!

Where’s China’s Missing Vice President Xi Jinping?

NOT FOR ALL THE FLEE IN CHINA DEPT.

There are so many mysteries in China right now! First off, Xi Jinping has vanished! Second — who is Xi Jinping?!?! He’s the Vice President of China, and is presumed to be the next president — and he’s nowhere to be found. It’s unclear if he’s sick, or the victim or an attack, or just super into naps. No one “in the know” is saying where he is. Which is why those NOT in the know (that’d be us) are stepping forward with explanations!

Spy vs Spy Game is #1 in the App Store!

VIEW TO A SHILL DEPT.

Yes, that's right, the Spy vs Spy game is #1 in the iTunes App Store for the iPhone! (And it's #2 for iPad, which is no small potatoes.) That means it's trumping the addictive "Angry Birds", the cathartic "Fruit Ninja", and even the exhilarating "National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Hi-Def Radar"! Developed by our pals at Robots and Pencils, the game is an update of the classic Spy adventure originally created for the Commodore 64, Apple II and Atari. It even includes an 8-bit retro mode!

Right now it's on sale for 50% off the final price at a measly 99¢ (Cheap!). Click here to download the game to your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Go get it soon, before Perry realizes he's not in first place anymore!

Apple Responds to Mistreated Workers’ Allegations with New Ad

Long hours, unsafe working conditions and a shamefully inconsistent policy on “Casual Fridays” are just some of the complaints being voiced. But Apple, always the nimble marketer, is responding quickly to the situation. Not by improving the conditions, but using the tragic events as an advertising tool.
