Kunming authorities found 20 unauthorized Apple resellers. Currently, 11 of those resellers are being investigated. Two other stores were discovered for related violations. Slashdot first discussed the mushrooming of fake Apple Stores in July."

    And too lazy to read blogs about blogs about blogs ... Are these fake Apple stores that sell fake Apple products, or stores that sell regular Apple gear and just don't want to pay up for the logo rights and maintain the price policies of Apple?

    I'm too lazy to respond to ignorant, lazy AC's.

    If Apple was smart, they'd be the largest company in America, and have more cash then the US government.
