This is currently the only comment on the 1st post of the front page. Peak HN moment.

#5Expected some meme-worthy content about bad EU-regulations and such. Was surprised to read a well thought out piece about how good managers have to accept and work with facts and reality.
Take my upvote!

The EU being discussed is, in fact, the European Union.

#10What amazes and perplexes me is that Apple thinks it can effectively play politics against the EU and that somehow their customers will back them in the face of the "consequences" Apple applies, which are pretty transparent and really quite amateurish (eg no more web apps for you!).
As the article states, the first mistake Apple makes is thinking the EU is somehow like the US, but I can't see how any large proportion of Apple's customers will back Apple's actions against their own government. EU citizens haven't been brainwashed into thinking that their government is their enemy, at least not to the same extent as the US.
