REMOVED LYRICS:

Users say Apple's latest update has rendered their iPhones and iPads completely useless, reports Gizmodo.
They have been forced to open iTunes on a computer, connect their bricked device, and restore from there.
Apple was expected to seize the moment after its rival Samsung was forced to issue a recall of Note 7 phones.
Now, Apple has its own controversy to deal with. But hey, at least the iPhones aren’t exploding.

LINER NOTES:

It was only when I was half way through making this album that I finally got around to backing up all my songs and updating to iOS 10. I'd read so many horror stories on Auria's forum about users losing all their songs through the update that I'd put it off for ages, until I was sure the issues had been resolved. The album's sound then took a completely different direction, when I discovered the Alchemy synth in Garageband's update, which you can hear as the lead on this track and many others. This album was going to be 16 tracks, but my iPad turned into a "bricked device" when one of the songs that was almost ready corrupted. I couldn't rescue it, and had to remove it - using a PC and iFunBox - to get the iPad working again.

Its lyrics are here:

Creative In Its Tax Structure

Apple, famous for its innovative products, has proved to be equally creative in its tax structure.
An unusual feature of its tax structure is its relative simplicity, says tax law professor Antony Ting.
It does not rely on the Double Irish Dutch Sandwich structure that has been commonly used by others.
But from 2009 to 2012, it successfully sheltered 44 billion US dollars from taxation anywhere in the world.
