Apparently Apple didn't get the memo that said "DO NOT piss off the court-appointed monitor." Or, maybe they did and they just don't care.

Apple Inc's antitrust compliance program has improved, but the company continues to impede a court-appointed monitor overseeing the program, acting as "its own worst enemy," the monitor told a federal judge in a report made public on Tuesday.

"This lack of cooperation has cast an unnecessary shadow over meaningful progress in developing a comprehensive and effective antitrust compliance program."
