Each year Apple comes out with a new version of iOS, and this year looks to be no exception. What will be different this time is that Jonathan Ive, the designer behind the look of Apple’s hardware, is now in charge of the look of iOS as well. According to rumors, the result may be the end of designs that make software look like their pen and paper predecessors, like the yellow legal paper look to Notes and the textured look to the Calendar app.
On Apple’s financial front, the company sold $17 billion in bonds this week. The company is taking on some debt in order to finance a stock buyback and larger shareholder dividend. The debt inside the U.S. allows them to keep much of their cash stockpile outside the U.S. and beyond the reach of taxes. Apple stock is up sharply this week on the news.

Time to consider the apple alternative
Why it's necessary to post political comments on a computer usage site is beyond me; please take it somewhere else, where it plays better..whew/shrill;
time to consider the blog alternative, as in start one, join one, do a podcast, publish. Apple makes some great programs to assist you..
Oh good grief. Why not learn what you are talking about before you spout off. A bond is a LOAN, which must be paid back with INTEREST! As financially sound as Apple is, the chances of them defaulting on the loan is slim to none. Secondly, even should they do so, then the investors are out the money, NOT the "middle class". That is unless a "middle class" person, such as myself, invested . As far as your expertise in investment advice, don't quit your day job!
