...said the company was extremely pleased with how the smart phone was faring. He pointed out that for the year, Apple sold 13.7 million phones, "well ahead of the 10 million unit goal we set for the year." Cook later added: "Our objective is not to be the unit share leader in the cellphone industry, it's to build the world's best phone...
...strong-jawed Caucasian protagonists and their sinewy Chinese sidekicks. They are pitted in urgent struggles against bloodless communists or mustachioed triads with a penchant for quoting Confucian maxims. Willowy Eurasian sirens in brocade skirts set honey traps at every turn, and the duplicitous locals care for nothing but share-trading and cognac. Great events - a devastating typhoon, a transfer of sovereignty - provide epoch-shifting denouements to stories of unsurpassed venality...

...likely run afoul of the dreaded alternative minimum tax (AMT). Among other things, the AMT applies to people who would be able to use deductions to reduce a large portion of their federal income tax. The idea of the AMT is to make sure wealthier types pay their fair share. State income taxes and property taxes are federal-income-tax deductions. And since Geithner pays nearly $45,000 in those two taxes, he most certainly would be caught by the AMT. When you pay AMT, you can't take individual federal deductions. Still, he could use deductions to lower...
