Re: Apple will laugh all the way to the couch...
Well that's in dispute because Apple got a lower than "official" tax rate from Ireland via a special deal, and the EU claims such special deals have always been illegal. Since it was decided in a court that Apple needed to pay up, it looks like they were right (or at least right enough that EU judges agreed with the EU)
That's not the same thing as an ex post facto law.
