Apple has confirmed maybe the worst kept secret in Silicon Valley: it’s been working on a cloud service, and will announce it at the June 6 Worldwide Developers Conference.

Le moteur de recherche le plus connu du monde a réussi à réaliser d’importantes économies en impôts lors des cinq dernières années. Grâce à un subtil réseau de sociétés dans plusieurs pays, Google Europe parvient à faire déclarer l’essentiel de ses revenus aux Bermudes, véritable paradis fiscal.

What would happen if your future arrived too early? If you got the keys to your first car when you were eight? Landed your first big management job at 15?
