Pathetic. Same report says that Apple is worth more than a lot of countries including Argentina, Austria and South Africa. Why pick on Greece in the headline? Why not 'Apple is bigger than Austria'? Or is it to have a cheap laugh at Greece?

OK let's have the real reason...

Apple is owned by Jews.

Another possible reason that the logo has a bite taken out of it is the bite's clever allusion to the biblical story of Adam and Eve. As noted by Apple Museum, a website dedicated to documenting the company's history, former Apple executive Jean-Louis Gassée believes the apple represents knowledge. In the Old Testament's Book of Genesis, the Tree of Knowledge bore forbidden fruit, and when Adam and Eve took a bite from the fruit, they gained knowledge.

Sorry Hermes, but Greece only has itself to blame. The richer nations of the EU and the G20 don't like it when they have to pay for this fallout, and I could swear that a bailout was mentioned for Greece even by the Aussie Government in order to keep the contagion from spreading to Italy and the banking sector. In fact it was mentioned at the last G20 meeting.

I don't see why we should pay, when we are so overtaxed already. Let Greece default. And let the banks fail.

Sorry Paphitis, but the bailouts are not for Greece. Any bail-out is for Greece's creditors: the French and German banks. Greece cannot service its debt. The richer countries are bailing their own banks out. That is the reality.

I agree that a Greek default is necessary. It would be a wake-up call and allow for re-structuring and a solution not just for Greece but for Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy as well as the French/German banks. They cannot keep pumping tax-payers money into propping up insolvent banks and pushing austerity programmes that are making the economic situation worse!

Interesting Toffoui... as a Mac Lover .... can tell you there are two other stories behind the logo...

One is a reference to Alan Turing's suicide in the '50s from a poison-laced apple.

The other reflects the late SJ's love of the music of the Beatles, whose music was published in later years on the Apple label.

... oh and for those who don't know... the Macintosh is a variety of eating apple, came across them in a supermarket in London many years ago.

Like all big companies Apple is owned by banks and pension funds. If only you had the foresight to invest in Apple when it was on its knees, kurepetos, you'd be a very rich man now.

Now it's a good time to invest in nuclear power. I better hurry up while every fool is talking about green energy...

I still prefer the Old Testament version. Suits me right.

You know what would be a good solution for Greece other than restructuring the very country which IS necessary?

Greece should withdraw from the EU and Euro after it has reduced its debt, not forgetting that it's debts will still be in Euro. The EU is a 2 tier economy. You have France, and Germany at one end and the PIGS at the other.

Anyway Hermes, I don't see why other nations not in the EU should be called upon to help bail out European Banks or
Greece for that matter. Our Government is in for a massive backlash if it starts handing out money to Banks or Greece.

I was right. There has been quite some debate sparked from the G20 about Australia injecting cash into the Greek economy to pay debts. It was debated in Parliament by our PM and today the media are attacking the bitch. They were quick to point out that her seat is in Melbourne, which has a big Ottoman population. The media were rightly asking why should the taxpayer bail Greece out so they can still enjoy siestas, retire by 55, and still not pay tax.

I love it!

Those people who have jumped on the slagging bandwagon and turned against Greece because they like to hang around with the 'popular kids', looking 'cool', taking cheap shots, only demonstrate their lack of individuality.

They are sickening.
