Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

I SEE the iBook has "I was assembled in Taiwan" rather than "Made In Taiwan" stamped on it ("Apple launches iBook with no strings attached", 26 July). Thus Apple falls to the same childish base that Microsoft has been doing for some time.
It seems Americans like to be patronised by things like this ("My Computer", "My Documents", cutesy paper-clip helpers), but I find it intensely irritating. Can't we have options to remove this nonsense? Perhaps an entry in the control console that swaps between "Adult" and "Child/American" would do it.

IN REPLY to your article regarding reading e-mails while on holiday and having trouble with connecting ("On hols but still online", 26 July), I recommend using mailstart (www.mailstart.com). I used it during a recent trip to Australia and found it very satisfactory.

I WAS delighted to hear that someone is producing customised CDs, even though it is not yet in the UK (Bytes, 19 July). Ten years ago I used the same type of service in New York, albeit on to cassettes. I was told that it was unlikely the service would be offered in the UK, due to difficulties with copyright. Does anyone know of a place that is doing this in the UK? Legally, that is.
