Apple iPad Prices Not Created Equal, Depending on Country

Apple’s iPad boasts a higher upfront sticker price in some countries than others, thanks to local taxes. That revelation comes as Apple prepares to debut the tablet PC in nine international markets on May 28, including Australia, Japan, Spain and the U.K. In response to an irate U.K. fan, Apple CEO Steve Jobs wrote that U.K. prices include a value-added tax not present for U.S. purchasers.

The problem with dual-class shares: More equal than others

FROM the start, Facebook has assiduously imitated Google. The social-networking site has poached its chief operating officer and in-house chef from the search giant. Like the young Google, Facebook has turned down multi-million-dollar takeover offers in favour of going public. Then on November 24th came the news that it had prepared for a public offering by adopting a dual-class share structure, which gives some shares more votes than others—again, like Google.
