 Image via CrunchBase Apple has nearly $100 billion in cash. $97.6 billion to be precise. That is a lot of iDough. Even for Warren Buffett. Perhaps it’s time for Apple to, I don’t know, use some of it?
Unless Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) is planning to build an army of Siri-voiced iBots, it’s hard to defend why the company needs that much cash. Even company executives admit that it may soon have to deploy some of it.
During the company’s celebratory earnings conference call Tuesday, Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer said the company “was not letting [the cash] burn a hole in our pockets.”
Really? Apple’s iMountain of money has nearly doubled since the end of fiscal 2010. But Apple doesn’t pay a dividend. It doesn’t make splashy acquisitions or buy back stock.
If Apple’s cash keeps piling up, at this rate it won’t just burn a hole in the company’s pockets. It would be big enough to swallow up the entire universe.
Now one reason Apple is still hanging onto cash is because it doesn’t want to pay a sizeable chunk of taxes to Uncle Sam if it used that money on something productive or shareholder friendly. Oppenheimer said Tuesday that $64 billion of its cash was offshore. It is “trapped” if you will.
Apple is a multinational company. So there is nothing legally wrong with keeping cash abroad. But it is apparently doing so to avoid having to pay the 35% tax rate on it if it were repatriated or brought back to the U.S.
Many companies are in the same boat. And that’s why Apple, Cisco Systems (CSCO, Fortune 500), Google (GOOG, Fortune 500), Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500) and other cash-rich techs are urging Congress to enact a so-called tax holiday.
This group wants the tax rate on profits and cash held overseas to be temporarily lowered. They argue that doing so would help stimulate the economy. Lawmakers have yet to bite.
But even if Apple wants to keep fighting the tax holiday fight, you can’t ignore the fact that it has $33.6 billion in cash in the United States.
That still is a lot of money that Apple could use for a regular, steady dividend, a big one-time cash payout or stock buybacks. Heck, it could do all three. That would all be good for shareholders.
And Apple would still have plenty left over to keep investing in research and development. Keep in mind that Apple generated $17.5 billion in cash flow from operations in its last quarter alone!
Anonymous has a new tool in its arsenal that transforms casual Web surfers into unwitting participants in a distributed denial of service attack, according to security experts. The loosely-knit group of activist hackers has embedded JavaScript into specially crafted Websites to redirect site visitors to the targeted site, Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, wrote on the Naked Security blog Jan. 20. The page repeatedly attempts to access the target Website for the entire time the browser window is open, which only adds adding to the traffic bombardment. Anonymous distributed links to these specially crafted Web pages via its Twitter feed which was re-tweeted widely, and links also popped up on Internet Relay Chat rooms, Facebook, Tumblr and other social networking sites. Some of the links led to PasteHTML.com, a site that looks a little like the popular text-sharing site Pastebin frequently used by Anonymous to issue statements. A variation of this method allowed users to type in the IP address of target Web servers before the JavaScript code began executing. Most of the links were obscured using URL shortening services such as bit.ly. Several Anonymous Twitter accounts have thousands of followers, and some gained “hundreds of thousands of new fans overnight” during the course of the campaign, according to Cluley. The new method appears to have helped knock Universal Music and other sites offline during last week’s MegaUpload-revenge attacks. “If you visit the Webpage, and do not have JavaScript disabled, you will instantly, without user interaction, begin to flood a Website of Anonymous’s choice with unwanted traffic, helping to perpetuate a DDoS attack,” Cluley said. Internet users who have disabled JavaScript on their browser would not have been caught in this trick. However, considering how many Websites require JavaScript to do the simplest tasks nowadays, most people have the scripting language enabled. This is yet another reminder to be careful about clicking on links online. URL shorteners make it really hard to tell where the link originated from or its intended purpose. Even if a friend posted the link on the social network, if the original source is Anonymous, it may not be that safe. “Don’t forget, denial-of-service attacks are illegal. If you participate in such an attack you could find yourself receiving a lengthy jail sentences,” Cluley warned.

The raids, which involved 100 officers, yielded a large amount of digital evidence and $42 million in suspected criminal proceeds, the Customs agency said in a statement. High-speed servers believed to be connected to the cases were found in expensive hotel rooms.
“The assets have been frozen in accordance with related ordinances. The operation is ongoing,” the agency said in a statement.
The U.S. Justice Department and FBI shut down the popular Internet locker service on Thursday and announced indictments against seven people on charges related to online piracy, including racketeering conspiracy, conspiring to commit copyright infringement, and conspiring to commit money laundering.
Four of the seven suspects were taken into custody, including Kim DotCom, aka Kim Schmitz, who was arrested in New Zealand. DotCom is being held without bail until at least tomorrow when a hearing is scheduled to address extraditing DotCom to the United States to face charges.
Federal officials accuse DotCom and his fellow defendants of pocketing millions of dollars in illegal profits and costing the film industry more than $600 million in damages. The defendants face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
Office Depot Inc, the second-largest U.S. office supply retailer, is testing PayPal‘s new point-of-sale system in a few stores, a top executive told Reuters.
The news comes just days after eBay Inc’s PayPal unit said it had started testing in-store payments in 51 Home Depot stores, as the online payments provider moves to expand into the physical world of brick and mortar.
PayPal has talked about its plans to offer the service at 20 major retailers by the end of the year, but not named other chains participating in the initiative.
“It’s at this point in a small number of stores … because there are still some rough spots in that experience. There are some limitations on who can use it, service carriers that support that,” said Kevin Peters, president of Office Depot’s North American unit. PayPal declined comment on Saturday.
PayPal’s “wallet in the cloud” initiative lets shoppers who have a PayPal account pay by simply typing their mobile numbers and PINs at checkout counters. They can also pay b

y swiping a PayPal card and entering a PIN.
Office Depot’s Peters said he was eager to experiment with anything that would help faster checkout in stores, but that the chain would take its time before rolling out the initiative to more stores.
The controversial Stop Online Piracy and Protect IP acts have been temporarily shelved as congressional lawmakers figure out their next move.
The Senate will postpone the vote on PIPA that was originally scheduled for Jan. 24, House Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Jan. 20. He made the decision after weeks of intense lobbying by technology companies and industry associations opposed to the bill, which culminated in a one-day Internet strike led by online site Wikipedia. Google collected over 4 million signatures on its petition protesting the bill.
The House Judiciary Committee will postpone markup on SOPA and “revisit the approach” on how to stop online piracy, Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, the committee’s chairman and lead sponsor of the bill, said in a statement shortly after Reid’s announcement.
“I have heard from the critics, and I take seriously their concerns regarding proposed legislation to address the problem of online piracy,” Smith said.
Congress will work with copyright owners and Internet companies to develop a consensus on the best approach to stopping piracy on the Web, Smith said. The bills themselves are not dead, as there is still a possibility lawmakers will move ahead after making some modifications.

 Image via CrunchBase Microsoft Corp‘s fiscal second-quarter profit fell very slightly as lagging computer sales to cash-strapped consumers in the United States and Europe hurt its core Windows business.
Companies and emerging markets are still hungry for new PCs, according to the latest data, but customers in mature markets are ditching their Windows-powered netbooks in favor of Apple Inc‘s iPad, Amazon.com Inc‘s Kindle or postponing a PC purchase until the economy improves.
“There’s really three things that impacted the consumer side,” said Peter Klein, Microsoft’s chief financial officer, reflecting on the dip in computer sales.
“The supply chain from Thailand, there’s some macro (economic factors) and certainly some competition from alternative form factors such as tablets and readers.”
Tech research firm Gartner reported a 1.4 percent decline in global PC sales for the fourth quarter, aggravated by a shortage of hard disk drives caused by recent floods in Thailand.
Microsoft went further, estimating the PC market fell between 2 percent and 4 percent in the quarter, almost entirely due to the collapse in the market for netbooks, the small laptops which accounted for one in 12 PC sales last year.
As a result, Microsoft’s key Windows unit reported a 6 percent dip in sales to $4.7 billion. The situation shows no immediate signs of improvement.
