I haven't actually read the article, just thought you'd be interested in Mariana Mazzucato's discussion of Apple in The Entrepreneurial State "which argues that the United States' economic success is a result of public and state funded investments in innovation and technology, rather than a result of the small state, free market doctrine that often receives credit for the country's strong economy."

I just think it's crazy how much public subsidy went into creating Apple, and yet they're still seeking tax havens like Ireland

socialize the losses, privatize the profits i guess
