Oh come on, this is silly.
You don't think Apple manipulate benchmarks and statistics?
Or deny product faults and quietly settle years later e.g. iPhone 4 Antenna?
Or how about e-book price fixing?!!
It's ridiculous that people always assume foreign companies lie, cheat and steal, whereas homegrown companies are more kosher than a rabbi. The same thing happens in sport and politics of course. I guess humans just can't lose that tribal mentality.
