Apple E-book Price-Fixing Trial Begins

Posted by timothy on from the arrogance-of-power dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Technology giant Apple is to begin its defence against charges by the US government that it tried to fix the prices of e-books. The iPad-maker is accused of working with publishers in 2009 to set prices in an effort to compete in the e-book market dominated by Amazon. Quotes from Steve Jobs' official biography have been cited as evidence in the case."

    Condoming an island country could prove to be extraordinarily difficult.

    It might be easier if it were a penisula.
