Not government bureaucrats.

You know, antitrust penalties are always bad news. No wristslaps or sensitivity training sessions. That it got go trial guarantees Apple a ton of grief. The terms they are being offered are near the low end of what they could get.

Apple posturing for the faithful, pretending the crime was minor, isn't going to amuse the judge when the penalty trial starts next week.
Yes I can read... and the difference between a direct government oversight and a third party, appointed by the government is... I mean they can't even keep their military, diplomatic and security services work secret so why should anyone expect an oversight of this nature to be any more secure?? Still, it hardly matters as it's only Apple, just another nasty vicious little business of no importance to the US economy, may as well encourage them to move all of their business to one of the BRIC groups completely...
